We’re getting another puppy on September 11! She was rescued from a high-kill shelter in the South and will soon be boarding the Puppy Freedom Train for New Jersey. I’ve read the black/white coat is called piebald and “moo moo pit.” I would love to name her “MooCow,” but already had a beloved dog with the name. She’s 10-weeks-old, Pitbull/AmStaff (maybe mixed with a bit of . . ?) http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/JennDiamond1967/Puppy%202\_zpstv4mlexp.jpg"][http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/JennDiamond1967/Puppy%202\_zpstv4mlexp.jpg](http://s628.photobucket.com/user/JennDiamond1967/media/Puppy%202_zpstv4mlexp.jpg.html) http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/JennDiamond1967/FB\_IMG\_1472560124259\_zpsupwf1esw.jpg"][http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu7/JennDiamond1967/FB\_IMG\_1472560124259\_zpsupwf1esw.jpg](http://s628.photobucket.com/user/JennDiamond1967/media/FB_IMG_1472560124259_zpsupwf1esw.jpg.html) ---

Pinto or Pinta (the -a version is a throwback to pinto being the Spanish word for piebald; as the dog is a she, in Spanish she’d get the feminine ending) Mask (evidently) Huntress (not a reference to her hunting abilities, but to DC’s Huntress, again because of the mask) ---

She’s got slightly feathery legs and “armpits,” which I don’t think of as pit, so maybe a little mixed. But she’s cute as a button! Elsie is another cow-themed name to consider. Good on you for rescuing, especially right now – my Facebook feed is full of desperate requests from shelters affected by the Louisiana flooding. ---

Definitely need a mask/superhero/thief reference, with those eyes. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a dog with such uniform, perfect eyepatches! Ooh, you could also go with a pirate theme! What organization are you getting her from? I no longer live in NJ, but I got my little old man from Eleventh Hour Rescue, who brought him up from Georgia. Enjoy the newest member of the family! ---

The symmetrical eyepatches ARE weird – I haven’t been able to find a matching pic on the Interwebs. Pirate theme could be very cute! We are getting her (as we got Baxter four months ago) from WAGS in Pennsylvania; she’s being exported from South Carolina. ---
