Meike!

Tazor and Meike

Introducing our newest four legged family member, Meike. She is much cuter than this picture, more flattering photos will be published later. Yes, I have heard many a Public Service Announcement cautioning families not to adopt a new pet during the holidays. It is difficult to describe what lead us to this moment. It was like knowing the mail will be delivered tomorrow. I knew another dog was coming.

Meike's last family felt they weren't able to give her attention they'd felt she needed. She had lived with them for two years after practically falling into their laps. When Meike was a puppy, approximately 5 months old she wandered onto a busy road during morning commuter traffic. She was skinny and wore a collar with no tags. Not wanting to see this dog hit, the couple shooed her off the road and tried continuing on to work. Unaware Meike had run back to their truck, they accidentally ran over her. Feeling terrible, they brought her to a veterinary hospital and then home with them to convalesce. The rest of her story is now just begining.
