I finally adopted a puppy after months of looking! Here's my beautiful girl, Gracie. As cute as she is in this picture, it doesn't begin to do her justice. She has the most beautiful green eyes, and she's a smooth-coated chihuahua/border collie mix. I know - she'll be crazy active! I went looking for a lab puppy, but one look at this little baby and my heart melted. She loves to snuggle, seems to be ok with big dogs, and is the most intelligent girl ever. She's potty trained already, knows how to "sit," "bring me your toy," "drop it," and "go to kennel." She's 10 weeks old and completely perfect. She's not the breed I was looking for - I went to the pound that day hoping for a male yellow lab. Instead, I took one look at this girl and fell in love. She's recovering from surgery now. In addition to being spayed, she had a hernia the size of a baseball that had to be fixed. She's supposed to stay crated for a total of three weeks, and that's been very hard. I can't wait until she's all better and big enough to go to the dog park and run. She loves her toys, and I look forward to being able to throw frisbees to her and take her to obedience classes. She meets Bailey and Sam pretty soon... curious to see how she likes my other babies!
