It didn't take long for some creep to dump three dogs. We took Rottie with us to take a look at them and see if he liked one of them. There was a female black lab who had recently had pups, and a yellow lab male. Both were very timid and glued to each other. A much smaller, younger dog was "protecting" the other two with aggressive barking. Guess which one Rottie liked? All three were being taken to the shelter that night, so we took a chance on the little feisty one.
AND SHE'S A KEEPER!!!!
She's a small black spaniel of some kind or more likely a mix. She is house trained and knows several obedience commands. She has calmed down completely since getting settled in here, and she and Rot are becoming good pals. She's a cuddler and followers me everywhere I go...which may earn her the name of "Shadow." She will play fetch with a ball for as long as we are willing to throw it. We think she is one year old at most, and she will be seeing the vet this week for a checkup. Hopefully, she will be very good for our granddaughter, too. I'll take her down to the beach today to see how much of a water dog she is.
Thanks again, everyone, especially those that suggested I be on the look out for a spaniel type of dog. We're in love, already.
