Olive

Ed and I got a dog on Labor day this past September 2011. We adopted her from a family that could no longer manage her, as she kept attacking their chickens. She is the second dog we have had. The first we adopted from a family that did not recognize that having a dog is a lot of responsibility and meaning they have to take care of it even if it got sick. Our first dog was Sassy, and boy was she sassy! We adopted her in April of 2011. We took her everywhere with us. She was the best black lab that I could ever have asked for. Well it turns out the reason the family could no longer afford her was that she had stage 4 liver cancer, which they failed to tell us. We found out when she started to get stick and not be able to walk. It would have been better had we known so that we could have put her on a better diet. Well that being said we had to put her down in August 2011. Which was exactly a year after Ed's dog Smudge got hit by a car. So we have not had much luck with dogs. When we got Pepper we thought it was fantastic. She was just a year old and trained but was still trainable. Took her to the vet, and they said she was in perfect condition. Well about 2 weeks after the vet, Pepper had puppies! (10/4, which is national CB radio day) 5 puppies to be specific, and on Ed's bed next to his head while he was sleeping. So after nurturing the puppies for 2 months we finally gave them away.

My mom took one as our late dog Hannah passed away in October. We now have Olive, a little terror. She is very energetic and loveable but having a puppy is hard. She loves to play early in the morning and always has energy! My favorite days are when she gets shots and is sleepy. She is very well behaved except for her chewing behavior. She is a spit and is very cuddly.
