Bianca!

OK, I know I said I was going to wait to get a new dog. But I couldn't resist looking around on adopt-a-pet.com, and I found Bianca:

She's a year-old Pomeranian mix, but we have no idea what she's mixed with. :-P When her ears are up and she's trotting around, she almost looks like a miniature coyote/wolf dog. She has bonded amazingly well with Erik and me -- she is already very much a part of the family. It's funny, because we're seeing a lot of the same behavior in her that we did in Taffy, which leads me to believe those were actually Pom characteristics and not Papillon as we thought. Bianca's story is sad (and infuriating). Apparently she was picked up by the animal control truck because she was out on the streets, but she had tags. The shelter called her owner, who refused to pick her up because she'd gotten out after a neighbor's dog had dug a hole under the fence adjoining their properties, and she thought the neighbor should pay the impound fees. Can you imagine what sort of heartless bitch it would take to leave a pet in the shelter over a few hundred measly bucks? Jeez, lady, pay the impound fees and then take your neighbor to small-claims court to get it back!

At least the story has a happy ending, because Erik and I love Bianca to death already, and anyone who knows us knows how much we spoil our doggies. :-)

Also, totally off-topic but I just had to share: half and half of Schoenauer apple schnapps and Blackthorn dry cider over rocks is AWESOME.

She is cute, and looks very happy.

Bianca is a cute thing.

Absolutely gorgeous! So pretty! Life is much more complete when you fill it with dogs! I'm happy for you and Erik!

Awww, cute puppy. Sad story, but at least she now has people who will spoil her to make up for it :)

Looks like she's happy--and lucky--to have you over her old home then!

Oh, she is beautiful! Look at that face!

What a horrid person to pull that kind of stunt - Bianca is much better off with you and Erik. She could not have come to a better, more loving home. :)

I'm very happy for you, my dear GA - I hope you three have many wonderful years together!

She's really wonderful. It's amazing how quickly she got to be part of the family. We just love her. :-)

What a happy little dog! I'm glad you have a little fuzzy person running around the house again - much nicer, isn't it!

Cute puppy!

After hearing that story I am really glad to hear that she finally has a good home.

Honestly, that puppy smile she has in that picture is priceless!

(and I will have to try your drink recommendation as that does sound mighty tasty)

Oh, she looks so very happy. And mischievous, I might add. You better watch out. XD

I really hope though the owner is not going to show trying to claim the dog. That could lead to a load of batshit.

[christinex1001.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries about the former owner showing up. They kept the dog at the shelter for 30 days, and since she wasn't claimed in that time, the previous owner has no right to her anymore. She's all ours!

And she's really not mischievous. She's a very sweet dog. :-)

Oh wow!! What a beautiful dog! She absolutely gorgeous!

Seriously that person IS heartless for leaving her there just because she doesn't want to pay. If our cats got out, or any other companion animal for that matter, we'd(my family) do anything to get our companions back. They are apart of our family.
