Possible Addition; She's Here! ** Pictures In Post 12 **

Ugh... The girl decided earlier today that she wouldn't be able to make it tonight. =/ That's pretty disappointing.. And we cleaned the house for her inspection! Says she'll come tomorrow. She had to call our vet today, and will be calling 3 references J put on the application.

Any one else adopted a dog from a rescue this thorough?
Seems a little extreme. I mean, what are our three people going to say? Yep.. they love dogs. All of the waiting is putting J off. She wants her and wanted her here Saturday. She's an instant gratification kind of person. Now all this waiting is making her second guess our choice of Mia.

I'm still excited for her too, but am slightly put off by the Foster mom... Seems like she could have made these phone calls Sunday. I don't want to put off the dog because of the Foster mom's lack of consistency.

Sorry about the rescue delaying your new dog. I've had a few bad experiences with rescues, never got a dog from them. Shelters, three dogs, no problems. It seems the rescues are more strict, but then, they only want what's best for the dog. If you really want his dog, I'd give it a little more time.

Oh my. That dog can pull one epic head tilt So sweet. Good luck with getting her. She's absolutely stunning and sounds like a total sweetheart too

She's here! I'll have to work on getting some pictures. Everything's gone well so far. Just a little hackles from Eli.. cus he's Mr. Protective on occasion. Bunny has been VERY good. She's not too sure about Mia when she moves a little fast but hasn't growled or anything. (That's a LOT coming from Miss B. We consider her dog aggressive.. so yea. We introduced with B muzzled on neutral ground across the street and all was good.)

Oh my. That dog can pull one epic head tilt

Yes! She tilts for everything too! J was humming and she did. Right and Left Right and Left. Was very cute.

Congrats!! Good to hear that things have gone well with the introduction.
Looking forward to more photos of Mia

Congratulations! I can't wait to see pictures! Remember never to leave your dogs unsupervised because her being a pit cross they are known for dog aggression so I wouldn't leave them unsupervised. I love the pitties and will have one someday rescued of course but I was just throwing that out there. There is a pit bull forum I am on too and it's very informative I will PM you the site.

Someday I'll post some pictures.. I promise.

So far, she's pretty timid. And possessive of the water bowl... Very strange. So we're working on that. She listens really well to J and I already, which is nice. She stays crated while we're not home. So no random peeing in the house.. and helps keep B and E and her separate. The poor dog lived all 9 months so far pottying on the leash... so now we put her out back and she doesnt know what to do. So we have to go out with her before she'll go.. hopefully she'll get over that soon. At least she's going outside though.

We're thinking we might rename her Thea, or Thia.. like Mia.. same sound. I seem to want to call her Maya all the time.. so we gotta change it. =)
