New Addition

I had been itching to get a new dog recently & was checking out various shelters, when I came upon this little one.

Last Tuesday, I went all the way to Gardena to look at some possible pets, but it was pretty much a bust. The next morning, I was driving to work when I saw several puppies playing in the middle of the street. I pulled over, then wrangled them back to the sidewalk. I figured the barking dog with the dragging teets was the mom, so I let the pups follow her back to a few bungalows. I met the owner's little girl who told me the puppies were for sale, & here we are.

I've tentatively named her Blue & she's just 10 weeks. She's a little bit of everything, & everyone's having fun trying to figure out her family tree. The doctor says she will probably not be more than 15-20 lbs., which is perfect. Not too big, but not so small that Esther (my cat) will beat the crap out of her.

She seems very bright & the housebreaking has been going well. She's had a few accidents, but considering I wasn't watching her every second, duh on me.
