Let me introduce "Princess" whom we picked up from the SPCA today.

Her adoption is not yet official, so we're fostering her for now. I hope it does work out. She's adorable. She's snoring at my feet, ATM. She seems OK with Buddy & the cat (eg, nose to nose). Buddy snapped at Princess just once, when she jumped/crawled over him en route to the other end of sofa, in a "less than graceful" manner. Hmm. Manners?
She's a soft LH doxie mix who's been shorn, due to matting. Same color as Buddy. Longer legs, so she can jump into the car seat by herself!!! That's a first, for us!
She's full of energy, like a puppy, not at all like a typical 12 yo senior. She did zoomies 2x when coming inside from outdoors. Happiness? Yes, I think so. She's constantly thirsty & hungry. Drinks really a lot. I hope it's not hypothyroidism? She barks loudly for food, which is annoying. So is the counter-surfing. No other doxie has ever managed to reach the treats on my desktop (in a bowl). This furgirl did it, in just seconds. Circus dog! Gotta keep all food off the counters, and up high. :-) Who knew?
She's finally starting to relax, now. Yay. She snuggled up to me already, and gives lotsa kisses. I like that. We're going through treats like mad. She already learned 2 tricks: lie-down, and touch. Clever! We're still working on sit.
