Isabelle (Izzie)
If you have seen the pictures below, then you have “met” the newest member of our family, Izzie. Although no dog will ever replace Montana, Izzie is smart and sweet. We rescued her from a group in Plano on Saturday. She is about 10 months old, and was given up for adoption by someone who could not afford the extra deposit required for pets in their apartment.
Izzie is about 45 lbs., and we think a Golden Retriever/Lab/Vizsla mix, or as Dr. Doolittle likes to say…maybe a bit of Heinz 57. When we get her to the vet either today or tomorrow, we should know more. She is much calmer than Montana, and travels in the car very well. She is easy to walk, and learns new things very fast. We have only heard her bark once, and that was at Petco. There was another dog that got to her, and all of the previous dogs did not affect her at all. Kokoa asseted her position quickly by swotting her in the nose. Izzie is now afraid of the cat. Garrett was playing his fire engine around her on Saturday afternoon, and she was not bothered at all. We are still crate training her until we get to know her better, and she had a much better night last night after we moved the crate into our room. We will keep you posted after the vet’s report. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to introduce yourself to Izzie.
