Annie!


We went to the Houston Humane Society on Kaitlyn's birthday to "just look" at the dogs there to try to find what type of dog would be a right fit for our family. Well, after spending some time with several puppies, we were introduced to Annie, a lab/boxer mix. After just 1 or 2 minutes, we were quite certain that she would be the perfect fit for our family. She came home with us two days later and is such a sweetheart......the girls absolute adore her! (Even Lauren!) She is very gentle, though we are working on biting (typical puppy behavior) and "potty training." (We were told she was practically trained....not so sure about that! She and her litter were infested with fleas, and Annie was allergic to them. She'd lost a lot of her fur, so one of the trainers at the Humane Society took her home. She came to work with the trainer every day and was like the mascot there, never in a cage, always with someone. It's nice to have the puppy with some grown-up qualities, but again, not so sure she's potty trained!) She has adjusted very well to our house and our routines, we are so happy to have her here with us!
