We finally to the plunge again and went to the local animal rescue Saturday and brought home an adorable mix breed 2 year old dog named Whitney. She is gorgeous, has had some training and a quick learner! Still has "puppy" in her, but also can be calm (thank goodness). Took her to the Vet right away she is healthy, 50lb medium size and her color is what they call a black brindle. Yes, she is already sleeping in the center of the bed, she figured that out the first night LOL. What a great joy in just a few days we have had her, guess we saved her, but she has also saved us! Just thought I would share with you all. We might not be 100% of what we use to be, but to help and find a new family member you don't have to be. if you wish to know what she truly looks like, please check out the dog breed called " Treeing Tennessee Brindle " she looks exactly like one. What a joy and hard work at times she is, but so worth it!
