I know many of you recall my posting about the sad death about a month ago of our precious dog Isabel, who succumbed to lymphoma. She had been a wonderful friend, especially to Carla during her recovery from cancer surgery and the ensuing punishing course of chemotherapy.
We realized how much having a dog in the house (which we had not had for a number of years) added to our lives. So Carla contacted the woman through whom we had gotten Isabel (she is a volunteer with the local rescue agency, and runs sort of a "halfway house" for dogs to be adopted) and told her of our interest in having another dog join us.
We interviewed several candidates, and chose Chloe (non, pas Chloé). We had not wanted to have a dog that looked a lot like Isabel (as Chloe does), but we ended up doing pretty much that. She has a wonderful personality and seems to be very bright. So here she is with Carla:
Here she is looking for her wristwatch, which she is pretty sure fell off the edge of the sofa:
She is apparently mostly Chihuahua, maybe a chiweenie, but perhaps with less weenie than Isabel. She seems to have a great deal of affinity for the Chihuahuan Desert, of which we have a small bit just outside our back door. It is thought that she is about 8 years old, but who knows.
At The Dog House (the "halfway house" I mentioned), they have several doggie doors, so she was already skilled at operating them.
We look forward to having Chloe as a part of our family.
Best regards,
Doug
