Meet the New Boss

 Since we lost Nina back in the spring, Gail has had her eye out for a new housemate.  There were some tempting candidates over the summer, but we held out until after summer travels to get one.  A dog was being fostered in Snyder, Texas by Second Chance Dog Rescue, and they have a delivery bus that makes a route through the south and northeast.  They post pics of dogs to websites along the route and Gail saw Roxy.  We passed the interview and waited for about a month before she arrived by bus after a five-day trip with about 60 other dogs.

Roxy, meet Gail.  Gail, Roxy.  Next time I'll be more attentive to getting the whole slogan painted on the side of the bus of the rescue service.  We'll just say the chain is much longer now for this sweet dog.

She was a street dog in Snyder so she's quite skittish, but she's getting more comfortable every day.  She'll walk anywhere we take her and Gail says she's a good running companion.  Fingers crossed she's into skiing too.
