your good people Mike,you and the misses  ;)

i aint much of a dog person myself,i like cats,but i hate to see any animal mistreated.
and i think rescues are one of he best ways to get a pet too
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Very nice of you and your wife.  I'm not much of a dog guy, but that is one purdy looking dog.  Good luck with her.

They took a few Hours to get introduced...but once that was over....they have been Buddies ever since....Aero86...I live in Stinnett....60 miles North of Amarillo


Thanks Guys....I wasn't going to let the Wife get another one...but She has already got a place in my heart....since Mine passed away last Summer...I have missed having a little Queen in the House...and this one will never take Her Place....but She has the right qualities to be something Special

Kudos to you and your wife!  You have my respect.

We have had up to four dogs and as little as two dogs. All rescued or found. We only bought one dog and that was a full blooded Border Collie. That BC was like having three dogs just by herself. El, you and yours are doing good stuff.

Beautiful dog. Wish you the best rehabilitating her. Our Keshound Jackie died, little over a year ago. We had her sixteen years. She was a puppy when someone threw her out the window of a truck. She was so tore up I said this one won't make it, but she did, sixteen years. She was good around the family, but she never lost her apprehension of strangers.

Good on ya!  I'm sure you will do her right.  There are only two things that consistently give me violent thoughts.  One is abusing a child, the other is abusing animals.  Really gets me fired up.  Well hopfully the previous owners have a nice little cage of their own now... >:D
