bellus quies's Journal: Puppies!!!

My fingers are crossed for tomorrow. When my boyfriend and I are going to see a puppy that we want to adopt. The foster parent is going to meet us in the park and see how we like the pup and how the pup likes us.

We are going through a rescue shelter that saves dogs and puts them in foster homes until they can go to their forever home.

The dog we're looking at is a Catahoula Lab mix that is one year old and so cute. She's got blue eyes and is white with light brown spots on her back. She was rescued because she was a stray living by the lake and has a scar on her neck where her collar had grown into her neck. Anyways here's her link and spiel...

Have you ever seen a dog as cute as I am? I am a lovely one year old Catahoula Lab mix female, and I know I'm an angel. I make all the boys melt with my pretty face. I was at Town Lake for a short time, and I keep it a secret where I was before that, because I didn't like it. I have a small scar where someone let a collar or rope grow into my neck.

I weigh about 38 pounds (probably won't gain more than a few pounds more), I'm spayed, micro-chipped, heart-worm negative, and current on my vaccinations. I am great with other dogs and with cats. I am crate-trained, but I am not quite house-trained, although I'm getting there. I haven't had an accident in quite a while! Because I'm still a frisky pup, and I love kids so much, I am probably not a good match for houses with children under 12 or kids who are afraid of dogs because I jump up to lick them. I also would benefit from some doggy training classes to brush up on my basic obedience.

I'm so excited, as I've never had a dog before (though my boyfriend has) and I'm looking forward to going running with her in the morning and playing around and all that good puppy stuff.

Yeah!

I wish you well;-) I had never heard of a catalouha before and, if I did not know what one was, I'd guess she had some pitbull in her. We have a 2.5-3 year old lab/ border collie mix and a 9 mo sharpei/ pitbull mix. They certainly keep you busy;-) If you're running with her every morning that'll be awesome, too because the high energy dogs need that running time. Be sure and let us know what happens (aand post pics, too!)

I'll definitly post pics when we get to take her home. And the puppy wil be a great excuse to go out and get some excercise.
