New Tiny Dog

With everything going on, I think I forgot to introduce my latest temporary roommate.  After I survived my root canal I decided to reward myself by fostering another dog from the pound.  The people at the veterinary clinic said this little one needed 3 weeks at my house to fatten up.  I'm good at that.


I think she is a terrier-chihuahua mix.  Only 2 pounds, 8 ounces.  She is all bones.  She is too little to be in the yard by herself so I have to go out with her and keep a keen eye out for hawks and owls.  She has a limp and I am sure she looks like an injured bunny from an owl's point of view.  I even had a hawk swoop down for a closer look this weekend.


She gets along pretty well with my other dogs.  At first she ran away from me but now she wants to be in my arms all the time which makes the other dogs jealous.  She doesn't get to sleep on the bed either because my 2 guard dogs keep her off.


Someone already wants to adopt her.  I just need to keep her safe and well fed for another 17 days.  I will do my best.

That is a teeny little fella. I cant even imagine living somewhere that your pets are likely to be grabbed by passing wildlife. Birds are less scary than snakes I guess but you are a tough bunch!

Ha, Lizzie, and I didn't mention the coyotes that jump fences and grab dogs. I need a roof on my yard!

Thanks, quiltingdoberman. She is sweet. I think I will take her to work with me on Friday so she can sit in my lap all day long.
