BIG Karma points for you, cochrane! What a doll!
Our newest was acquired thusly: burpette was looking through the rescue website pix, she pointed at one cutie, said, “This one. Now. Let’s go!” and it was off to the races. She’s 4 for 4.
Two dogs is twice the fun. ::hint, hint::
She’s sleeping on the floor next to me where I’m watching TV on the couch. She totally rolls over for belly rubs and seems to be totally relaxed. It sure beats another night in the kennel. I can’t believe she’s been there for three weeks with no one adopting her.
Thank you for giving her a home-what a beautiful dog!
I am in love with you both now.
It must feel so good to her to be back in a home with Her Own Person.
What a sweetie!
Angel is cute, too. 
I think every dog owner recognizes that expression. It’s the same one that Leet the Wonder Dog[sup]TM[/sup] had in his eyes when my son brought him home and said he was too big to stay in my son’s apartment. And hard-hearted Shodan the veterinarian’s son who is not at all sentimental about animals, was saying “if you can’t find another owner, he will have to go to the pound”. And Leet looked at me with that expression that said, “You’ll take care of everything, won’t you, Grampa?” And I said, “well, OK - he can stay with me for a while.” That was five years ago.
Many happy years together to you both.
Regards,
Shodan
My husband cringes every time we go into a pet store that’s doing adoptions, but all I do now is toss a few bucks in the rescue jar. We’re a one-dog family, as we discovered this last week when our daughter visited with hers. One is quite enough. And 2 cats.
Still, I like to look at the adoptables and wish I could afford to take them home. A girl can dream, right? I’ll enjoy your new pup vicariously! 
Heh. Rookie mistake. Congrats on the new furbaby! She is darling.
She’s gorgeous! Congratulations to you both.
You picked out (or rather she picked out) a jewel.
So, I went to bed last night and guess who jumped on top of the bed with me? OK, so she’s not a large dog. And she stayed still the whole night, no getting up or shifting position. And she’s almost like a cat in a dog’s body. I started petting her this morning and she rubbed up against my legs, just like a cat. And she stays by my side, watching my every move. And she has a good appetite. I gave her my old dog’s leftover food and she dug right in. Which is good, because she’s a little on the skinny side and could use a little more weight.
Thank you for rescuing! Way to end 2016 on a high note!
Also condolences on your boy Brewster. I’m sure Angel knows he was in your house – their ability to analyze the faintest smells is more powerful than most people realize.
Have fun bonding with her!
She’s soooooo cute! She landed a really good home (and thank you for rescuing!)
Oh yes, the old “not getting another dog yet” syndrome. This is how I ended up with my pack of five canines.
Wow, that makes me go all warm and fuzzy all over. Her previous owner must have been a great person. This is obviously a love match. 
I’m checking your thread every day for pictures. Just sayin…
So, I thought I’d go to the grocery store today to see how Angel handled being left alone. I left the house in her hands, er paws, for about an hour. It turns out she has a little devil in her, too. I came home to find she’d knocked the kitchen trash can over. Not a deal breaker. It wasn’t much of a mess. Next time I’ll put the trash away from the dog when I leave the house. And besides, she’s too adorable to scold. More importantly, nothing was chewed up or destroyed, and there were no puddles or poop piles in the house. She seems to have figured out the yard is for that. She’s made it through her first 24 hours with flying colors and is once more peacefully laying down next to the couch.
I’m so happy for you both.
She’s perfect. Yay for both of you.
Okay, it’s been over 24 hours with no new cute Angel stories. What gives? I’m sure she’s done some more adorable things. We want to hear about them.
<Arms folded, toes tapping>
Awww! She sounds Cool!
(I hope you spoil her rotten!)
“No no… scratch Behind the ears… a little to he left… just like that… now, just a little bit under my chin please! And my neck… and that part on my chest I can’t scratch with my paws? That’s It…! Also, are you cooking steak tonight…?”
Eh, not much to tell. She’s mostly a couch potato. She spends a lot of time napping. When I get up, she gets up to see what I’m doing. Other than that, she’s not a big ball of activity. She’s like a dog version of Garfield. Very laid back and takes everything in stride. That’s OK. She fits my lifestyle. I’m not the most active person in the world. I’m content to just have her hang out with me.
