Boo. My Halloween sweetie.

I had a dream of a yellow dog....woke and started my 6 hour drive home from a wedding. After stopping at a gas station in Indiana....a little yellow blur caught my eye.....it was my dream doggy!!! She was only about 6 weeks old.

It was Halloween and we named her Boo. She is now two years old....she didn't like her birthday party....she's too shy for all the attention.

She has been the sweetest dog. But recently she developed aggression towards strange dogs. She is fine with all the dogs she met while growing up but if she sees a new dog...she goes nuts.

I hired a dog trainer who suggested a vet check up. Turns out my sweet girl has a bladder infection and crystals. A very painful condition. I hope she is back to normal soon.

Once she completes her meds and is rechecked by the vet, the trainer will come back out to reevaluate. Since I have no knowledge of her breeding, I want to make sure I protect her from herself. She is very strong and if she causes any injury to another animal, our town (maybe it is a state law), will put her down.

Two children were severely mauled 5 years back by pit bulls. The town is NOT pit bull friendly.

Boo's favorite thing is her adopted sister, Mindy. They love going for walks and chasing baseballs in the yard.

My favorite thing Boo does is when she drops her baseball at my feet.....she just stares up at me with her big brown eyes with wonderful anticipation. She is beautiful.
