Nessie the Dog




I saw this puppy on-line the other day and was duped into shelling out $175 for her. This, despite the fact that she's a mutt. Half husky half lab (we think). Of course, this is all conjecture. She was skinny and had kennel cough which meant I had to dip pills in peanut butter and coax them down her throat. She wasn't even very lively at first. On the way home from the shelter the lethargic little thing flopped down on the floor of petsmart and refused to walk, even though my arms were full of her over-priced doggiefood and doggie toys, and a doggie designer collar. I had no option but drag her little ungrateful butt to the car, hoping that no-one called the doggie police on me before I even got her home. Our resident doggie in waiting didn't take to kindly to the idea at first, hiding under the beds to avoid the pesky  intruder that followed her around and got into her food and stole the attentions of her much loved people. She's warmed to her now. Frolicking like she is six months old again Mia has an appreciation for her companion. It's a good thing. In one week Nessie has outgrown her substantially. This saga to be continued. Stay tuned.
