Meet Annie


Matt wins!  He has been wanting another pup for a while...I kept saying no...he went to PetSmart to look at dogs...he texted us pictures of some...convinced Taylor, Andrew and me to go back down to PetSmart with him...Taylor spotted this cute puppy Annie...we called Allison to come down to see her...somehow within minutes I was signing the adoption agreement...OMG!
 She is a 4 month old Shepard mix who was brought into the vet as part of a litter of 8 puppies who got into rat poison.  4 puppies died and 4 were saved and taken in by Hope Ranch Sanctuary so they could recover and get placed in foster care for adoption.
 She is super soft and loves to cuddle, play with squeaky toys and has no concept of personal space!
 She is crate trained for bedtime and only had 2 potty accidents,
 but she has severe separation anxiety when we leave her in the crate during the day.  Working on that!

We weren't sure what Kaia would think of her, but she warmed up quickly and has been super patient with her!  They chase each other all over the house and battle all day for toys.
 Matt loves that she is such a cuddle and literally molds as close as she can to us!
We did have a little scare a day 3 with her.  She was vomiting and had diarrhea so took her to the vet to get tested for Parvo.  Luckily it was just a few parasites that were easily treated with meds.  Love how she wrapped her paws around my arm for the drive to the vet!
 She loved her first trip to the beach
 and we are working to teach her how to "potty" on leash.
She plays hard and then crashes just as hard.
We are in love and glad to have her as the newest family member.  Welcome Annie!
