HNT Newbie

Look what we got!

Our latest adoptee has been with us almost two weeks. She's a beautiful black Lab, somewhere between 13 and 15 years old, fortunately very very healthy. She used to have a decent home (although they fed her cheap food and table scraps), but recently her people were told they couldn't keep her at her new apartment, and their first attempt at placing her with a new owner resulted in that poor girl spending eight months living in a small chain link pen with no house, no shelter, nothing but muddy ground to sleep in. Needless to say, when we saw her on Craigslist, we knew she needed to come live here.

She's an absolute love, so happy and perky. Her tail almost never stops wagging, much to the chagrin of the little dogs who are frequently smacked in the face with it. But they're all getting along great (we have a very well-adjusted pack going here), and the cats love her too in their own way. She looks so happy to be in a warm safe place and is more than happy to let us smooch all over her big shiny head. She loves hopping up on our nice big couch to watch TV with us or wait patiently for us to come home, and she's got a reserved spot on the cushy bench at the foot of our bed. The only negative so far is that she's got a bad poop-eating habit, but our vet gave us a few ideas for how to discourage that, so now the dogs are enjoying pineapple on their food (don't ask, I'm just hoping it works).

As for the odd fact that you can see through the top of my head in this picture, I guess I moved before the picture finished. No smartass comments about me being empty-headed. Okay, go ahead, you can make 'em.
