This afternoon, i became the proud mommy of a four month old, female, lab, beagle, sheperd puppy named Annabelle.
Oh is she a cutie. Very sweet, and very well behaved for a puppy. She has a very, very, very light tan face, almost looks like a very light color yellow lab through the face and eyes, except that she has more of a beagle shaped nose. She has the black and tan sheperd back, and then she has very light colored legs. She is liitle. They say she won't get very big. Time will tell. Her feet are not very big. So loves my other two dogs. They on the other hand, are like what did mom bring home now. ;D I will post pics whenever i get my darn camera working. Hopeing it just needs new batteries.
So that now makes 2 horses, 3 cats, and three dogs . A small zoo ! :) Oh and not to mention a husband, and a four year old. ! ;D
But i could not resist this thing all curled up in the back of her cage at the kennel,all frighten while the other dogs in the cages around her were barking and growling. And dogs that you rescue from a shelter i find in my experience, make wonderful pets !
Aaawww!
Congrats Mom!
Congrats on your new fur "baby", hon!!
May you bring each other many years of joy.
Congratulations Lady Amy of York! IMHO that's the best way to become a Mom, bringing a new furkid into the family through the heart! Congratulations!!!! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats minself, hopeful to add a couple of horsies to the farm some day. 'Course I'm gonna need to move to something with say 4/6/8 acres to make room for 'em...I digress...enjoy your new family member m'Lady! ;D
CONGRATS, I just love furbabies. I love that furbaby smell that puppies have. I have a Minpin I rescued. What a joy he is. :D
I want to see picsssssss
HUZZAH!! Congrats on the new wee furry one!
M'lord and I will have more than one when our living arrangement allows {right now the landlord says no, and space is limited}
I can't wait to see pictures, she sounds absolutely ADORABLE! ;D
I got my camera working and took some pics of her today. she is abit camera shy. every time she would do something cute, i would go to grab the camera and as soon as she would spot the camera she would run and hide. But i think i got a few cute shots. Will try to post them before the weekend is done.
For a young pup she has been very weel behaved so far. has not tried to chew up anything, and she whimpers and lets me know when she wants to go out. She sleeps in a puppy crate at night.
Yes, she is very cute. I know all puppies are cute, but she is very, very cute, and i'm not just saying that cause she is mine.
She just has these floppy ears and these big brown sad eyes, and this cute liitle black nose and these cute little feet.
We have decided that she has the tan and lack sheperd colorings but the body and height of a small beagle. She is a liitle thing. Went out today and got her some toys.
She was so funny today. I introduced her to the horses. It was obvious she had never sen a horse before. My horses are not small. My one horse is 17 and a half hands tall. Well Annabele just look at him, and her eyes got real big and she just lokked, and looked,.It was like she was saying " Whoa mom,what type of dogs are those ."
I will deffinitely try to post some pics soon ! :)
Congratulations, I wish you success on being the person your dog thinks you are and the consolation of knowing that even if you don't succeed, as long as you give it your best shot, it doesn't matter.

I know, I know... guys aren't supposed to get all gushy and stuff.. but that little bugger is just PRECIOUS
yea, she is a doll ! I took one picture of her on the SPCA website and knew i had to have her. ( Note : don't go looking at the SPCA website unless you want a dog/ or puppy ! LOL ! It will lure you in ! )
I am hoping she will stay Beagle size. She has sheperd in her too. I take her to the vet this friday for her healthy puppy checkup. so hopefully i will find out then. Not that it would matter, but she is so petite i want to be able to hold her forvever and not have her get big ! Plus i have two big dogs, this one i want to stay little !
LOL Purple Dragon--you old softie !! ;D ;D
Princess Annabelle is so cute!!
As the owner of 4 rescued dogs, I agree with you. The unconditional love they give you is amazing.
Your pup is a real cutie. I wish your family much happiness.

Yeah, I'm an old softie.. :) I have my menagerie of animals (4 cats and one dog). I have posted some pictures in Queen Bonnies Realm area of this forum under the "Royal Felines" thread.
Back to the size thing.. not likely she will stay that size, judging by the size of her paws, looks like she may get much bigger than she is now, of course the vet will be able to tell you better.
Awwwww, what a sweet puppy face! And big puppy ears and big puppy paws. :) So cute! Many congrats on the new addition to your family!
Awwwwwwww ;D

Yea, i went to pick her up today and i was like man, you have deffinitely grown. well if she gets to be sheperd height, oh well ! she is till cute ! although like i said i hope she stays medium size !
Good for you!
We have 2 adopted/rescue dogs... a German Shepherd and an English Mastiff.
Couldn't ask for better dogs!
Your pup is a real gem!
Annabelle had her healthy puppy checkup today. She is very healthy ! The vet did not think she would get much bigger in height. That she would probably be beagle size and not sheperd .
Yea. It will be nice to have amedium size dog in the house for a change.
I have a huge male golden retriever, and a female yellow lab. They were rescue dogs too !
