A So Cal Girl in the Desert

On Tuesday evening we brought home a new puppy, much to the dismay of Kermit. My husband named the new puppy NASHA, which stands for "Not A Siberian Husky Again." You see, he's always wanted a Husky, but it would just be cruel to have one in AZ. I lean more toward the scruffy mutt types.

Nasha was born on July 4, 2005 in El Paso, Texas. We found out through the rescue group that the closer you are to New Orleans, the more animals there are to adopt and the less number of families there are to adopt them. So along with the Katrina animals, cities are sending as many puppies as they can to other states for adoption. Nasha came over with some Katrina puppies and she was in need of adoption. One family in AZ said they would adopt her, but then decided they wanted a dog with shorter hair. Geez! She's just about three months old, and a total spaz. Our ankles are bloody, and Kermit has been behaving like a cat, living on all elevated surfaces where she can't reach. We love her! Kermit will! Here are some photos for you to kiss...
