Truscifi Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 She looks pitiful in this pic, but we accidentally woke her while taking the picture. She is about 1 1/2 years old, some sort of terrier mix from the pound. She is super sweet, but a little timid. We're hoping that will pass as she gets used to us. She has apparently selected me as "her person" and follows me everywhere like a little shadow. Oh, and she is already house broken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 awww, she's sweet! I love black dogs. What's her name? How about Darla...because she is darling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks. :) Ds named her Brownie. She looks black most of the time but in certain lights she is dark brown. I wanted to name her Godiva, like the dark chocolate. Or Esmerelda - I love that name! Ds rolled his eyes and said "Those are girlie names, Mommy." I tried pointing out that she is in fact a girl, but to no avail. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2Ride Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 She is cute. Looks like she has some stafordshire terrier in her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 She is cute. Looks like she has some stafordshire terrier in her. Ooh, that could be! I googled, and the picture and description on the wiki page sound close. She is mostly dark brown/black, but her chest and belly are white with spots. And her hind legs are seriously muscled. She looks like a body builder, lol. The size is right too, though her muzzle is bit more narrow than their example. I may be getting carried away, but it is fun trying to puzzle out what breed(s) she may be. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 She is so cute! When did you get her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 We got her Friday. We had only been looking for a new dog for about a week. I wasn't sure about it, since we just lost our other dog a few weeks ago, but when I saw her at the pound she really caught my eye. And she had already been there almost a month - the pound worker said since she wasn't a puppy the odds of her getting adopted were lower.

Live2Ride Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yes and black dogs have even less of a chance...I told my friend that I need to work at the shelter. I can spot mixes of breeds in dogs better than they can for sure. They'll list breeds when posting dogs, that don't even make sense when you look at the dog.
