Daryn's been dying for a dog, and I finally broke down and decided we could get one. This is Pebbles! As far as we've been told, she's a Greyhound/Labrador Retriever mix. We were also told she's about 6 months old. BUT, we went to the pet store, and a vet was there doing a vaccination clinic. He told us Pebbles is about 9 months old, and probably won't get a lot bigger than she is now.
I was just looking at pictures of dogs to adopt online, and saw a picture of her and fell in love. I've learned that her coloring is called "Brindle." She is so gorgeous, and VERY good tempered. She just sits or sleeps in the car, and though she's excited when first meeting people, she calms down pretty quickly. She licks Bekah a lot, and jumps a bit. Her foster home let her on the couch, so we have a bit of training to work on, but she's good at listening to me when I say DOWN!
Rebekah is very happy with her dog. :) Pebbles is pretty gentle with her, and Rebekah will randomly walk over to where Pebbles is sleeping, and just pet her softly. It's VERY cute. I'm excited to see these two little girls grow up together!
Only one accident so far... but I'm not surprised. She's in a new environment with new people. We just need to keep a good eye on her. Daryn agreed before we got her that he would be responsible for her messes, so I'm pretty happy with the arrangement.
Pebbles is Daryn's birthday and Christmas present from me and Rebekah.
Update! We finally got the Kennel Card info from the woman setting up the adoptions, and on that is says she's a boxer mix... I confronted the woman in an e-mail about mis-representing the dog and she said "The people at the pound just guess anyway" and that rather than mis-represent the dog, she put the breed that SHE thought the dog was. *rolls eyes* Really woman? *tsk* This wouldn't be a problem except that I don't think our apartment allows boxers. Pebbles is clearly part greyhound, so we're going to just print off the info we were originally given and show that to the landlord. I'm not entirely pleased with this, but I can't afford to pay to get her kennel card changed and we don't want to get rid of her! She's in the program we adopted from because she was on a pound euthanasia list. :(
Daryn is out paying our pet deposit right now, so we will see!
