Puppy Pics!!

I finally managed to resize some pictures of Fae for posting in my photo album.

The top three pics are more recent, which is probably obvious because she is quite a bit bigger in them! In the top three photos, she is 5 months old. They were taken in May.

The bottom three pics are from a couple of days after we got her, in February. We went out to a farm in Chantilly, VA to pick her up the day after Valentine's Day, so she was a bit of a V-day sweetheart for us.

Hmmm ... what else to tell about her? She is quite funny and smart. It didn't take her any time at all to figure out how to open the baby gates on each floor and any closed doors keeping her from a room she wishes to visit. She likes to climb -- a lot. So, it's not too surprising for me to walk into a room and find her sitting on the back of the sofa or chair or on a tall stack of pillows. She's not too crazy about loud noises, and has only just begun to really bark. She still kind of has that whole puppy bark thing going on, though. She's quite tall. At only 6 months old, she's already taller than Tex was. And, she loves to run. I'm hoping to do obedience classes with her once my daughter starts school in the fall. Then, maybe I can get her into some kind of coursing classes or something.

I'm not sure what kind of dog she is. She was a rescue "mutt", but she was born at the foster home where we adopted her. Although she wasn't in an abusive situation, she came to us as a very timid, shy dog. She was very afraid of men and strangers, although she took to us right away. She has gotten over a lot of that, though, and socializes much better. From the look of her and the little yodel she has, I think she has some hound somewhere in her background.

Hopefully, I'll have more pics to post later on. As I said, she seldom sits still. Silly, pin-headed dog. =)
