we named the dog indiana!

Actually, we named her Domino.  And I would like to present, to you, the newest addition to our household:

Domino!

She's a two-year old Shiba Inu/Heeler mix, adopted from Austin Dog Rescue (they rescue the dogs that are in the pound but aren't found homes).  We met her on Monday night, had the home visit on Wednesday, and she came home with us tonight!  She's settling in, doesn't care one whit about the cat (although he is still trying to figure out what the big fuzzy alien thing is doing in the living room), and is super sweet and a little shy.  We love her to pieces already.  And here are some other images of random adorableness from her first night home.

Awwwww! *huge sappy grin*

What a pretty little girl! And yeah, her face really is foxy, isn't it? So very cute!

Do they know for sure that she's Shiba Inu and cattle dog (aka heeler)? Or was that someone's best guess? I love playing guess-the-breed-mix, so I'm always curious about these things. *g*

Congratulations on your new family member! I wish you all many years of happiness together.

HeEEE! Thank you so much darling woman!!

And yeah, she's totally got a foxy face! and the sweetest little walk ever.

As far as the breed guess - I think it's the vet's educated guess, because her pound papers had "border colllie" which is *totally* wrong. Her hair is very different (more coarse than border collies), and her body is much smaller and she has a kind of ruff that we're not sure is because she's a recent mommie or not. It may not come out in the pics, but she's definitely got something different going on that's more similar to other shiba inus. :D *is a complete dork and i could go on for even longer about this but will stop*

Anyway, thank you so much darling woman!! I think we're going to have a grand time with her as the newest part of our family!
