A Puppy of Our Very Own (HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!)

I am not sure what is wrong with Shawn and me.

We have a five-year old, we have a four-month old, we have a cat, oh and a 3-year old German Shepard. Oh, and did I mention that when we bought our house it came with a Kiernan Terrier?

So our life consists of not just nurturing our children, but taking care of animals.

Well yesterday, after I returned from a two day traveling deal for work, there was this puppy of some sort that really did follow Tyler home. No name, no tags, no anything, and it looked as if she had been pushed around by a bigger dog.

What do you think we did?

If we were in our right mind, we would have taken her to the pound, but no, not us, not to a pound that if in 72 hours that you are still unclaimed they will put you to sleep.

Instead, we brought her in, gave her a bath, fixed a little bed in the crate and let her keep warm inside (35 degrees outside.)

Shawn is currently at the vet, making sure she is okay, and then we are going to put up flyers all over the neighborhood. If nobody does, Tyler has named her Sable, so I believe we are stuck.

The one thing that makes me say okay, is the other two dogs are outside dogs, except at night, where their crates are in the garage. It might be nice to have an indoor dog. We'll see. Not sure. Any suggestions? I'm open for them.

I will say this though....I am not the only female in the house anymore.
