In the words of Britney Spears...oops, we did it again. DW and I came from a holiday at Granny's with another abandoned puppy. To say we are dog-people might be a complete and total understatement, I realize. To me, knowing a dog is suffering from hunger and lack of love is pretty much an abomination.
And speaking of love, how could you not just love this silly face? After the picture I realized that she was standing with one foot in each of DW's house slippers. Made me laugh.
Wanted: Someone to love me
Between DW and myself and our nephews, this little one got snuck a few table scraps from our Thanksgiving feast and was given quite a bit of attention. She was extremely patient with our youngest nephew who climbed all over her - which is always a great sign.
As we were loading up to leave for home, she jumped up in our Explorer...and we took that as a sign she picked us. :-) We got her home and took her straight to the bathtub where she proceeded to get a 2 hour bath while DW and I picked every flea off her body with a fine tooth comb. Once she was good and clean and flea-less, we dragged out one of the old dog bed covers we'd kept and showed her where "her bed" was.
So far, in three days, we've worked on teaching basic commands like "sit" and "lay down" and "get in your bed". We've started to get those down. I know it's weird, but one of my favorites parts of having dogs in our home is teaching them how to communicate and obey their commands. The best and most enjoyable dogs are obedient ones.
At night, to our great surprise, she climbs right in her bed on the floor and doesn't move until morning. Easiest. rescue. pup. ever. Anyway, once we've got her kennel and fully command trained...plus put some meat on her ribs, we'd love to find her a home.
Know anyone who could find a spot in their heart and a little rug space for this sweet girl? You might wanna hurry before I fall in love and try to keep her.

She is just too sweet!!!! That face melts me!!!! I think you're going to fall too much in love with her to let her go I think she belongs to your family already. Hugs, hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
I agree! She's definitely picked your family... I don't think y'all will be able to part with her :)
She is WAY too cute!!! How do your other dogs like her? I hope you find a good home for her, but I kind of hope that ends up being YOUR home. :)
Oh come on...we all know that you are going to keep her! ;)
Love that face!! Lucky dog!!!
I have a feeling that she's already home. (o;
Bless you for taking in this sweet girl. I wish more people loved and respected dogs as much as you and DW do. I had to laugh at your comment ...and obey their commands. I think you meant the dogs should obey OUR commands, but I do indeed obey my dogs' commands. I'm secretly hoping you keep this sweetie.
Oh girl, you're in trouble! You aren't getting rid of that little one and deep down, you might already know it. :) We ended up with our third pup this same way. He's asleep between my husband and me right this very minute. She's gorgeous!
What a precious face! You guys have the biggest hearts!
I'm not sure I see you or DW being able to part with that sweet face. She picked y'all for a reason.
Deal with it :) She needs love and I couldn't imagine 2 better people to give it to her.
How sweet of you and your husband to take this girl in! I agree with Maggie...she did pick you guys! I think she knows you'll be a sweet family that will love her forever! [Totally agree that it will be crazy, we have 2 pups already ourselves, but I wouldn't be able to give that face up!]
Ah! What a sweet face! I'm a sucker to a rescue too - I hope you find him a great home :)
