We got a new dog. Nina called us from the Tompkins County SPCA and said she heard we were rejecting dogs from as far away as Pennsylvania and would we consider a nine-year-old with a bad reputation. We took a chance, gave her a chance to get snatched up by someone else, and have gotten ourselves a wonderful dog. She was quite overweight upon arrival, but after just a few weeks has trimmed down to reveal she has a waist and can run up all the steps in the Cascadilla Gorge. She's pretty good at finding comfortable spots around the house too.
She's getting all over town and managed the Walk-About without batting an eye.
I'm still not 100% certain she's not going to go for my jugular, but I'll continue to take my chances.
