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.

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'.

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
