The new girl's name is Lucy. She came via a transport from my doggie dealer as a result of a "domestic situation." She's thin (just 44 pounds) but otherwise seems very healthy and remarkably well adjusted, although she's a little bit confused at the moment. I met the transporter in Charlottesville and we went directly to the vet, where I got in after just a short wait. She's already been spayed but of course we had no vaccination history on her. She's got it now, along with negative test results for heartworms and other parasites.
I got on the scales at the vet's office only to discover that I had gained two pounds. I wasn't too surprised because I could tell I had hit another plateau. I had been eating two actual meals a day recently instead of one meal plus all the fruits, veggies, and salad I could stand. Obviously I can't do that. After I got the new girl settled at home, Sparky and I hit the trails for a fast, seven mile hike, followed by iced tea and a salad wrap for dinner.
