We have a new family member!

Wow, its been a few weeks....we adopted a dog last Sunday the 14th of July. She is a 3 yr. old female "Great Japanese" dog, a tri-color red and her name is Kit Kat. I am slowly trying to switch over to Kiki as Kit Kat seems like a wrong name for a dog like her. She was bred and born on a ranch north of Tehachapi and given up by her owner because she is sterile (although we will still need to spay her as she still goes into heat- who wants that mess or male dogs sniffing aroun?). She looks amazingly similar to Sequoia, our previous dog, but her personality is so different. She is sweet and very friendly, not at all aloof like Sequoia was. I am loving her so much. I really did miss having a dog. She will definitely be an asset to have with us while traveling in Central and South Americas.
She wouldn't eat much at all during the first week. Now she seems to have rediscovered her appetite. Hopefully we will have her with us as long as Sequoia was with us! Viva la canine!
