00:00Hey Fawny, come here.
00:02Oh my gosh, when are we ever going to get to pet this dog?
00:05I was not prepared for the level of challenge.
00:10Fawn was dumped on a beach in Puerto Rico.
00:14She was just so scared of people.
00:22How do you feel about picking up Fawn?
00:23Oh my gosh, it's coming so soon.
00:26I feel like I'm going on a blind date with someone
00:29who is going to live with me forever.
00:33Waiting for Fawn felt like Christmas morning
00:36when you're a kid.
00:37We do have a stocking for her.
00:40It feels like sort of bittersweet.
00:43Lola!
00:45We had just lost our dog Lola.
00:47Lola was so special to us and even
00:49helped mend our relationship through hard times.
00:52She was also a very chill and easygoing dog,
00:55but we weren't prepared for how different Fawn would be.
00:59Tomorrow we're getting Fawny, or the Fawnster,
01:02the Fawn's Fawn.
01:06We're officially 15 minutes from the airport.
01:10I was just so excited I could barely stand it.
01:13Just really excited and nervous.
01:16We're about to meet our baby.
01:18Hi, honey girl.
01:19You ready to go see mom and dad?
01:20When we met her, they carried her out.
01:23You're doing really good.
01:25She was so scared of us and everything around her.
01:29Yeah, she's nervous.
01:32All right, we just got home.
01:34She immediately got in her dog bed.
01:37Want to respect her boundaries and her pace.
01:39And she wouldn't move for the whole night.
01:45She's grabbing toys and bringing them back under there.
01:50She just wouldn't let us get anywhere near her.
01:53Come on, baby girl.
01:55This is Fawn's first pajama party.
01:58This is a huge win that she's sitting with us.
02:01We would start laying on the floor
02:03to try to create a space for her that she might be willing
02:07to come out and sit with us.
02:08Hi, baby.
02:10Do you want to do it?
02:13Shelby was the first person she flopped down onto.
02:17My goodness.
02:18We called it the Fawn Flop.
02:20It wasn't too long before she was flopping on you.
02:25Then it was like overnight.
02:27She was suddenly a wild puppy.
02:31It was like she was getting tap and puppyhood again.
02:33Come here.
02:34Come here.
02:38Fawn has opened up in so many ways with us.
02:42Smells like she worked overtime at the burrito factory.
02:46We're taking our first woods walk with Fawn.
02:48Going on adventures with us, even.
02:51Good girl.
02:52Good girl.
02:53That's it.
02:54Good girl.
02:55Yes.
02:56I love training with her.
02:57And she loves doing tricks.
02:59And it's so nice to see her proud of herself.
03:04Our bond is even stronger because I have to really work
03:08to be trustworthy for her.
03:11What are you guys doing?
03:12She did the Fawn Flop.
03:13Having Fawn around has just brought so much fun
03:16to my life again.
03:19Fawn.
03:21Fawn, come on.
03:21Yes.
03:22Good job.
03:25Just the dirt?
03:26The warm dirt?
