My Catahoula girl is named Danika (after Danica Patrick, I prefer the K spelling, though) and we named the new puppy Halo because she has a white spot at the very back of her head, plus she's so sweet.

We are not sure about the father. I'm open to suggestions. They thought the litter had more than one doggo daddy because some of the puppies looked like rottweilers and some looked like her.

Congratulations on the new addition. Good choice on the Danica Patrick name. One of my favorite former drivers.

We had an athletic theme going with our pets. Our other deaf dog (gone now) was named Mia, after Mia Hamm; and our kitteh's name is Lance (Armstrong,this was before Armstrong disgraced himself).

Puppy is sleeping through the night and is mostly housebroken already. She was fostered first, so that helps.

My sister brought her home from a carnival with a story about how she won her... confessed some years later that she bought her for $5.

Halo's paws look like she has some growing to do. Love those brief puppy months so much!

That couch was a terrible idea. Fur sticks to it like Velcro and it's impossible to keep clean. Between the dogs and cat, I need a faux leather couch. $$$ again, sigh.

Claw scratch shows. < 2 years old and they look awful. When I can I’ll replace them with fabric seated stools.

They already look like they are siblings. All our dogs have been rescue dogs. Rescue is the best.

Part of me really wants a pure-bred Yorkie, but the thought of paying for a dog when there are so many being killed in shelters, I just can't.

Vet said possibly border/lab mix. She said her fur wasn't typical of a lab, so she thought there was some herding dog in there somewhere. Gosh, her face sure does look like collie.

I actually had my son do it for me. Find someone under 25, they can help.

My boys are actually software engineers but woefully out of the nest. Finally figured it out on my own using PostImage. Been on DU since 2001 and always wanted to do that. The possibilities! Thanks again.
