A New Addition to Our Family

Well, Alex and I have wanted a dog for quite some time. So, a couple weeks ago we went to a few animal shelters in Albuquerque and finally found our dog! We named her Misty and she is an Australian Cattle Dog. She is about 2 years old and a ball of energy. She has become a perfect addition to our family.
We found out the day we adopted her that she had heart worm, but we took her to a vet and she is being treated for it, so in about six months she should be good as new. We have really enjoyed having her around. Alex built her a cage (well that is quite an underestimate, it has taken over our living room) and we try to take her on a walk or run every night. She has been really good for us!

I think every house needs a dog. Congrats! That stinks that she is sick but at least they are controlling and getting her better. We take our dog whereever we go if we can! It is the son we will never have.

She is so cute! Thanks for posting pictures! And Alex, good work on the fence. From it's size I'm not sure if it's meant for Misty or Stephanie.

We had a dog named Misty when I was a teenager. It was an australian shephard if I remember right.
Congrats on the new addition although I'll never understand anyone who really "wants" to have an animal. I think they're a pain in the neck.

Stephanie, maybe she's just not photogenic. Just kidding! I'm sure she's beautiful.
