Had to share the news over here. After much looking and some heartbreak (a petfinder person gave the puppy earmarked for my parents to someone else) my parents found a new puppy.....
IN TENNESSEE!!! Not a big deal if they LIVED in TN, but they live near Cleveland....and the dog was near MEMPHIS!!! only about a 10 hour drive.....for a MUTT.....
She's little, and scrawny (had to compete with 28 other dogs for food) and a bit timid, but she's coming around. My parents stopped by with her today on the way home from TN and took my kids for the week too.....
She's nameless as of now. The shelter had her named Katie, but that just WON'T do!!! (my dd's name is Katie, for those who don't know) Any suggestions....
so far we have:
Smokey (TN reference)
Dolly (TN again)
Belle (b/c she's a southern belle, plus a Disney reference)
TiNy (b/c she IS and b/c it has TN in it!)
Pringle (b/c the Pringles chip plant is in Jackson, TN---where they got her from)
Madison or Maddie (b/c Jackson, TN is in Madison County)
Anyone???
