    I'm new

    Hey everybody! Just wanted to introduce myself and I thought this was an appropriate place since I have just adopted my first dog. I never had a dog growing up (I'm 24, by the way), but my husband's family always had dogs. They were up to 5 when we started dating 5 yrs ago, but are now back down to 3 due to two losses from old age in the past couple of years. Anyway, my husband and I just bought our first home, and we adopted a dog from an SPCA organization to enjoy our large backyard. Susie, our new doggie-daughter, is 1 yr old and has been in a foster home for 6 months. She is just an outside dog now, but we will house-break her so that she can be an inside/outside dog.

    We are picking her up on Saturday, and I'm really excited. I want to attach pictures, but for some reason they are showing up as links. Does anyone know why? Anyway, I will probably be lurking around this site and posting questions whenever they come up. I imagine that I'll have lots of questions since she's my first dog.

    HEY! Welcome to Pet Talk! You live right by me! I just moved to Cedar Park a couple months ago.

    Which SPCA did you adopt Susie from? I work/volunteer at both the one here and in Austin! I was trying to think if I knew a Susie doggy but I don't think I do. You said she was in foster care though. If you pick her up on Saturday and its the Austin one, I'll be there all day Sat

    Good luck with your new baby girl and maybe I'll see you around

    Let's see ... first things first:

    Welcome to Pet Talk!

    Congratulations on becoming a first-time dog-mom!

    Welcome, and welcome, what kind is Susie? If it shows up as a link, that's okay, that's what attachments do. To embed an image, it needs to be already on the web somewhere, then you type [img ] -then the URL-then [ /img] but with no spaces in any of it, and it'll just show up in your post!

    Oh, I get it. Thanks for the help, Karen.

    aly, I found her on petfinder.org and she was with the Highland Lakes SPCA in Marble Falls. That's why you couldn't remember her.

    Susie is a hound or pointer mix. She has a great sense of smell, and she likes to sleep in her spare time, which they tell me is typical of a hound. She might have a tiny bit of blue heeler in her based on her coat, but she really doesn't look at all like a cattle dog. Here's a pic (also my avatar):

    Welcome to Pet Talk!! I am sure you are going to love it here. I too wasn't allowed a dog growing up and my husband's family has always had dogs. 2 years ago, Andrew and I adopted Drake, a GSD/Wolf Hybrid. Draker has been the pride and joy of my life eversince! I am sure Susie will fill a void you never knew existed. She is a handsome puppster. Can't wait to hear more stories and see more pictures!
