A Star is Born…

We have been searching for a new member of our family for awhile.  The last girl we tried was just a ball of energy.  She was wired for sound and unfortunately wasn’t a good mix with our little nasturtium-beret wearing Millie….or my elderly mother.

Today my brother, Bob, dropped off one of his puppies for us to give a try.  Her name is Star and she’s five months old. She’s very laid back and couldn’t be more lovable.

She’s easy going enough and young enough that Millie can still bluff her into keeping her distance.  She just would love to play, but Millie needs to be a little more comfortable with her size.

There is an “understanding” between them and a peaceful truce reigns for now.  I hope that Millie will not only tolerate Star but come to enjoy having a “little” sister around to play with.

She’s a long drink of water and will still get bigger.  She’s half American Bull Dog and half Rottweiler.  She’s a perfect fit for our family and comes with a money back guarantee.  What could go wrong?

That's not a puppy. That's a pony!

What a beautiful girl ~ and I love the name Star. She is so sleek and shiny. I'm sure after just a few days Millie will fall in love with her. Congratulations on your newest family member! Hope to see lots more of her in the coming days.

Re: Your comment. You are too kind! My plumbago is okay but yours was spectacular. But I have been (and will continue to be throughout the end of the week) up to my eyebrows in 'gators and I was desperately scrambling for a picture for yesterday. I had to cheat a little bit and post one that I really didn't take that day but I just didn't have time. And back to Star, she is the blackest, sleekest dog I've seen in forever. She looks like she just got out of a spa bath.

Welcome home, sorry about the mice (we have ants and it looks like we'll have to empty cupboards to go after them with malice aforethought), and welcome to your Black Beauty!
