My name used to be Mandy,

But I am now called "Mandy"

Mandy's owner died, she was 11 and homeless...thankfully, she found a warm heart and a loving family!

Just a quick hello from Mandy in her new home. She and Scamp (my 11 year old Sheltie mix) are ignoring each other a bit less and acting like brother and sister a bit more (I'll sleep in your bed since you're eating from my bowl, etc.).

Mandy has learned how to take down the gate that I use to keep her and Scamp in the kitchen/dining area. She either pushes it down with her nose or pulls it down by placing her paws on top. When I fastened it securely Mandy attempted to climb on the wine rack to get over the top. She realized that it was a bit too precarious and abandoned the effort. All this was just to get to her favorite resting place, the landing midway up the stairs. I need to watch my step if I'm coming down the stairs with an arm load of laundry!

She's taken to the same food I get for Scamp (Nutro Senior) and like the treats as well, though she doesn't seem to care about any toys. She's walking on the lead a bit better, but can tangle herself faster than any dog in the neighborhood.

She hopes all is well with her friends.
