Ye gods, it's December already. This year has just vanished, mostly eaten by an endless reno.

But also eaten by a new dog that one of my roommates got this summer! She'd applied for three different rescue dogs before this one that had all fallen through for one reason or another, but this turned out to be the perfect dog and the perfect timing all around.

When we got her, she was about a year old and had just (like, that day) finished weaning her six puppies. She was maybe a little skinny, but was a solid dog, around 55 pounds, and super sweet.

First day!






She's still super sweet, and super smart, and also super stubborn. So big huge yay for the sweetness. *g*

She's also rather more solid than she was, after a few months of being able to use her food intake for her own nutrition instead of her puppies'.

Random week in October, in the back yard and at the beach:







She put on about 10 pounds in three months flat, and has gone from having a harsh, close coat to having thick fur and a ruff so soft and ruff-y her face looks fat.

She is a very good girl. <3

Hi Max! Wow--she's gorgeous. And I know exactly what you mean about a rescue dog eating up all your time--I rescued my year-old sweetie in March. The dog pictured in my icon was elderly then, and passed away a year ago June. When Ella came into my life...well, I'd forgotten what a young dog was like! Super sweet, super smart, and, yes, super stubborn! *g*. Congratulations to you and your roommate, and especially to Max who has clearly landed the best gig ever. Does she ever stop smiling? Not by the look of your photos!

Aw, she's gorgeous -- and now, yes, very solid indeed!

I'd love to hear about how the reno has gone? And all of you in general?
