I'd like you to meet the newest member of our pack. Though lowest in the pecking order, Shepherd is a real top dog, and he knows it. He's a three year old purebred short haired Chihuahua. A nice couple who live not too far away rescued him from an abusive home a few years ago. They are getting out of the Chihuahua breeding business, so Shepherd got to come live with us. The shots below are of Shepherd and his buddy Freckles, whom you've met before. As you can't plainly see, they are both dressed to the nines. In the first pic they are napping on my sweater. In the second, the scarf is a hand-me-down from Freckles. I haven't had time to make Shep any of his own.
Freckles & Shep
Shepherd, the Manly Man
Those giant hands holding little Sheppie belong to my grandson, Ethan. Since he came to live with us we adopted Shep for him. It wasn't the yellow Lab he wanted, but the dog food bill is a lot lower! LOL. Welcome to the pack, Shep.
What a pair -- sure to bring amusement, pleasure, and endless new doggie stories. Congrats on your new 'puppy'.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Karen. There's nothing like doggy love to bring more joy into a family.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie. And he's already making friends and adapting well from the looks of it. Wonderful that you took him in, Karen, when he needed a home.
ReplyDeleteI expect the two of them will have lots of great adventures.
