I have a lot of strays in my neighborhood but they aren't really friendly for the most part. So when about a week ago a new dog that was friendly showed up I went out and caught her. She is intact and not microchipped so was most likely dumped. Good in the house except for potty training and chewing issues. All it takes is a firm no to correct her. She is some kind of terrier mix. Maybe a border mix? No room at the Humane Society and I don't want to send her to Animal Control because of the possibility of her being euthanized. She's a sweetheart of a girl. Likes to cuddle and play "kill the rag". She's picking up on sit real quick. I'm using a sample size bag of Solid Gold Wee Bits which she seems to love. Peanut butter is a big hit too. I'm using pieces of frozen peanut butter cookie dough to get her to go in her crate at night. She's very good in the crate. Basically she'll be perfect with a little training. I keep telling myself I shouldn't keep her. I don't think I'm being very convincing.

I think she's going to stay. I keep on going back and forth on it. I was looking for a dog that could compete in AKC events and could fit in a small crate on the bus. In the mean time she's going to get spayed(free!) and vacc'd(rabies only) on Dec.12th. I got her a treat dispensing ball and she's having a blast! She was doing that pacing whining "I have nothing to do!" thing earlier so I hit the HS thrift store.
She is a cutie, how old do you think she is? she looks pretty young to me.
And no your not being very convincing at all, I believe she has a wonderful new home!!

I think she's about a year old. She's really steady as far as environmental things go. She will quite happily stomp through noisy plastic bags and jump up onto the back of the futon. And in the doll hutch I have after a toy went there. Even my neighbors filling helium balloons(loud hissing sound and a big pop) didn't bother her. Agility might be a good thing for her. She's starting to bark at the door too which is something I really missed having.

Sandy got spayed today and will be leaving with a great rescue when she's healed. Apparently my sweet little Sandy woke up in a very bad mood from the anesthetic. She was baring her teeth and attempting to nip staff from their account. They asked me to come back and get her myself so that they didn't have to freak her out by handling her anymore. I went back to get her and she had a sign that read "Go Slowly!" with a picture of a dog baring it's teeth on her cage. She recognized me and we didn't have any problems. I ended up carrying her most of the way home. I was worried about her walking that far with the big abdominal incision they do for the cheap spays. She's pretty much passed out laying on my jacket at the moment. It's her favorite place to sleep so I leave it on the couch when I'm not wearing it. Yeah, she's spoiled but I only have a week left with her.

I'm leaving with the military so I can't keep her. The rescue told me they will tell whoever adopts her to expect a visit from me when I come back on leave.
