We were going to take our time about it, and had already visited multiple shelters, but unfortunately a break in at our house is what it took to spur us in to action more quickly. The dog we got will not be a great guard dog, but will at least be a watch dog, which makes me feel safer at night.
The kids named her "Peach". She is a cairn terrier, which was on the list of low to no shedding dogs, which was a deal breaker on my list. OG didn't shed much, but I would rather no shedding at all.
She's adorable. How high energy? Do you have to walk her every day, or does she get enough exercise running round the house? We'll probably get a dog one day, but I'm overwhelmed by how much effort most of them take.
ReplyDeleteShe does need a walk every day, but frankly I'm glad to have something to force me to get a little exercise myself. If we play with her at home, she doesn't need a long, vigorous walk, just something simple around the block.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I had been wondering why you had someone else's dog for so long... I hope she keeps scary people out.
