Announcing the newest member of my family

I adopted Misty today from Pyles of Smiles, a rescue organization in Cottonwood, CA (near Redding, CA). She’s a Samoyed puppy, about a year old, weighs 45 pounds, and is the most adorable and precious thing I can imagine. Like me, she’s very inquisitive, strong-willed, and smart, but quiet and sometimes a little shy. She was abandoned by her original family prior to being found, rescued, and adopted :).

I’ve wanted to have another Samoyed in my life ever since I left for college and no longer had Blizzard, my parents’ Samoyed, as a companion; he died while I was away at college. For obvious reasons, taking on the responsibility of caring for a dog during college wasn’t an option, but now that I have an independent life of my own, I’m in a position to finally have a canine family member living under my roof. Thanks to Google’s dog-friendliness, I should be able to take her to work starting Tuesday assuming that I confirm that she’s been potty trained well.
