I'd been looking for quite a while, haunting the local shelters and scouring all of the ads on a regular basis. I was determined not to let cuteness alone win me over. Alas, Willow, as she is now called, passed all of the temperament tests with flying colors. Don't ge me wrong; she's very cute. The shelter said she's a Shepherd/Boxer/Husky mix but I don't see the Husky. I think maybe a little Lab, too. She's 9 weeks old, brindle with a black muzzle. And she has the sweetest eyes. Now, back to temperament. She's been here since yesterday afternoon and hasn't had a single accident. I left her in her crate, which she likes, while I went to Petco. When I got back, she was sleeping soundly. She slept all night under our bed. She follows me wherever I go; didn't run off once in the park today. This is one amazing pup! We think her foster "parents" may have done some training. This is really cool, since I miss my ex-dog, who's with my ex-wife.
