Name That Dog

Well, guess what?  Yep, there's a new member of the Fulton family here on Stepping Rock.  Jim called Sunday and said someone at work had a stray that they couldn't keep and "Did I want another dog?!!!!!"  Really?

So that night this little one joined our family.  I'm waiting for Jim to be able to spend some time with us so we can get to know her and give her a name.  She had her first vet appointment this morning.  The veterinarian believes she has a bit of Boston and Jack Russell terrier in her.  She's 14 1/2 pounds (the smallest dog we've ever had).  Her heartworm test was positive so we've already started treating that.  She has a large tumor on her belly and the vets believed it would be better to take care of it right away (heartworm treatment is a 3-month process).  So she'll go back on Thursday for surgery and then hopefully, we be on the path to many more years together.  Oh, they believe she's probably about 8-years-old.

Jim should be back on a regular schedule next week which means.......dinner every night!  So I should be back to regular food postings (and occasional dog info) very soon.  I'm so looking forward to getting back into the kitchen.  I already have a list of "can't wait to try" recipes.
