It might be spring...and omg we got a new dog!
Hello hello,
It's gloriously above freezing now. I'll enjoy it while I can cause inevitably we'll get heavy snowfall in the next six to eight weeks. Then again, there might be a certain charm to making snow men in May.....
we've got a new member of the family. Our older dog died in December, and we've been kind of mopey about it. Mom's been trawling the rescue sites ever since, not really committing to getting a new dog, but finally one night I told her to be serious about getting one or to stop spamming my inbox with links to dogs we'll never own. So after going through some of those links and the application process, now we have a new dog, and boy is she a sweetie.
The rescue shelter named her Sukie, and we've decided to keep it cause the foster parents were telling us it took her a long time to learn her name, so we don't want to confuse the poor thing anymore than necessary. She was rescued from a puppy mill, and was pregnant. She lost the pup and it had ruptured her uterus, so they had to do some pretty extensive surgery to save her...eep! She's 4, which I think is a good match cause our other dog is 12 and I don't think she would have reacted well to a puppy who wanted to play with her all the time. We haven't had her long, but already she's proving to be a real sweetheart, snuggling with us on the couch and trotting around the house. She's still nervous around new people, especially men, but she warms up pretty quickly when she figures out you just want to pet her. It breaks my heart to think of what might have been done to her before she was rescued. As you can see, she's super cute too. We have plenty of land and soft couches, so we're hoping she'll get less skittish and be a happy dog here :)
