I think Alexa and I are ready to open up our home again to another pup. Alexa has been browsing pet finder and ran into this little cutie. She called the foster mom yesterday and from the sounds of it she is perfect.

She is 2-3 years old. Super sweet, great with cats! The foster mom said that she is great with her foster kitttens and treats them as if they were her own. She even grooms the kitten!

She feels that her previous owners kept her as an outside dog as she was a matted mess when she first got her. She really wants to be playful, but she isn't sure how to play. So maybe no one ever played with her, she gets excited but then doesn't know what to do.

She is a little overweight, she weighs 22 lbs but needs to get down to 18, I'm sure with a few months of dieting and some walks (and maybe even learning how to play!) she can get there.

The foster mom is only avaliable on the weekends so we will be driving up to Phoenix on Saturday to go meet her. Keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out!

I hope this line from her Bio is a slight exaggeration >
"Jennie is a "special needs" girl because she is extremely obese.

:eek:
She doesn't *LOOK* too overweight!

Hope the "Check Her Out" visit goes well!!

4 pounds overweight is nothing. She's a cutie. Looks like a dandie dinmont with that haircut. I hope everything works out and we get to welcome a new pt pup soon.

Oh my gosh, Laura! I just saw this thread. I'm so happy for you ladies. Good, good, luck! Tell her that if she decides to come home from you that she will be recieving some pretty bandanas from "Aunt Kay"!

Good luck Laura and Alexa! {{HUGS}} I'm beyond excited for you two!

Things didn't work out with Jennie :( Something always struck me as odd when Alexa said she kept commenting on how much she wanted to keep her and I also found it strange how exagerrated her weight was.

Alexa called yesterday to confim Saturday, and the foster mom said that she was working (earlier she had made a clear point that she had weekends off and could only do visits then) THen she said that she had someone else coming on Saturday and that it wouldn't be worth it for us to make the drive up there.

So.... I went with Alexa to animal control this morning. Tomorrow afternoon we will be picking up a new addition :) He's a small terrier mix, red and white. Looks very similar to Micki's Chester. I'll try to post pics tomorrow or the following day!

Sorry it didn't work out with Jennie.

It's great you all found another, though. He sounds like a cutie. Any name ideas?

No matter who you get, Aunt Kay will have bandanas for them. :D

I still have to wait a few more hours! We can go pick him up after 4, so I think I'm going to run some errands to kill time.

Yeah, keep busy! I may have to, also, just so I don't jump on here every two minutes like I've been doing. ;)
