Okay, we did it! We got a dog!
Yesterday morning I had an email from the manager of the Israeli cat society saying that someone had brought them a wonderful dog that day. She knew I was thinking about getting a dog and immidiately contacted me.
Well, I trust her judgement so I convinced hubby into going there right then and there "just to see the dog" - I guess you can figure out the rest of the story
Her name is Bamabi and so far she turns out to be as good a dog as we were told. She's a mixed-breed rescue, middle- sized and brown. Seems to have some German Shepard and some Boxer in her (but we really don't know - someone just dumped her on the streets God knows when...
) She's 6 months old and she's absolutely great with cats! That was the most important thing and that's why I was so glad she came to us from the cat society. She had spent enough time there with cats to see that she's compatible. She is a very quiet dog that never (so far) barks or growls, even if a cat lashes out at her (I have witnesses that one myself...) Obviously like any 6-months old she is very energetic, loves to run and play, but she is also so well behaved that it's just fun and never a problem!
She is a strange kind of cat though...
She really seeks attention and approval all the time which is very cute but quite undignified for a cat
I'll post some pics tomorow, after I get them off my digital camera.
If anyone has any suggestions about a good dog site, please let me know. I'm going to spend some time searching now.
