You gotta have Faith!

Just a little Faith. That's all you need. And that's what we got yesterday. I guess my post has a double meaning. We added a new doggie family member yesterday. I really like her registered name, "Lonestar's Lady of Faith". Her call name of course, is just "Faith".

I was kind of in the position that some of you have been in or are in. You find a dog that you'd like to add to your family, but it's clear across the country and you don't know anything about the person trying to place the dog or the dog. So you ask questions and spend time conversing with the person about the dog, etc. You start to feel comfortable and think this is a good thing, then plans start coming together. But it's still a leap of faith. Especially when you are adding an adult that's never had a litter before and you're hoping they'll become one of your future moms.

So let me introduce you to our Faith. She's a beautiful black & tan, AKC Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is sweet and friendly, on the smaller side, about 11" tall at the shoulder and about 19 1/2 lbs! Yep, she's what we call a bit "short' for her weight. *wink* She's almost two years old, is heart clear and patellas normal, with a good bite too. (All things we look at for an animal that will be part of our "mom team".)

We are very excited to welcome Faith to the Pinewood Family!

Camera shy!

"Mom, do you have to keep pointing that thing right in my face?"
