At the risk of resurrecting a zombie thread...

Last November we lost our Boston. After several months, we decided it was time to love another dog. I lobbied for another rescue dog, but I was overruled by SWMBO, and we wound up with a new puppy this week. She's 7 weeks old and way too adorable for words.

She's still useless as a Security Alarm, but that day will come. Let me introduce you to Kimber:

She doesn't do a whole lot of guarding during the day though. At night she'll alert if she hears something go bump (usually our upstairs neighbors).

Thank you.

What a cutie you've got there! Fioa has the same look on her face as Megan did when my daughter put a tiara (non-CHL edition) on her head: "Why are you doing this to me? Was I really that bad?"

Thank you, snatchel. We had Megan 7 years, I can't imagine how you felt at Rocky's loss. I am so sorry.

On the good side, I get to see lots of other faithful friends here. And some very sleepy ones, too, from the looks of many of the photos!

I hate to be the Debbie Downer in the bunch, but here is our Megan, who was also a rescue dog. Until Thanksgiving weekend she was a wonderful sentinel for us for 7 years. Not only did she keep the yard cat- and squirrel- free, she alerted us to every stranger who got close to the house. She was great with the kids, too. Truly the best dog ever.

Unfortunately, she somehow got into the middle of the highway at the farm (which she's never done in 7 years!) and was hit by a pickup. We took her to A&M, but even they couldn't fix her back - one stupid bone broken the wrong way. Now, she stands guard over the farm under an oak tree.
