Daisy

We have added a new member to our family. We've been planning this for some time now, and have been watching for just the right dog for us to come through the Austin Boxer Rescue. On Saturday we met "Zee". She met all of our qualifications, give or take a few, so she came home with us. The kids are excited, and the cats are not impressed. They feel like prisoners in their own home. Neither one has been downstairs for two days. They finally got brave enough to go down and investigate after the dog was put in her crate for the night. It didn't take long for them to hightail it back upstairs.

She's only about 9 months old, and perfectly heathy other than the unfortunate fact that she has heartworms. She begins treatment for that in a couple of days, and should be completely cured in no time.
The person that we got her from has four dogs herself, and came home one day to find this little dog tied to her fence. Apparently someone knew that she was a dog lover, and left her where they thought that she might be safe. She made contact with Austin Boxer Rescue, and agreed to take care of her until a home was found. They called her Zee, but we've decided that Daisy should be her name. She has responded well to the extra love and attention that she's been getting here. She's been perfectly well behaved other than chewing up a pen, and several potty accidents. We didnt' want a puppy for that very reason, but it looks like we got one anyway. We're hopeful that she'll improve in that area quickly.
