Meet Ava!
I needed a dog. I can't explain it; I just did. Its been on my mind for a while, but it still seems like it was a super fast move. Luckily, we have found the perfect one first try.
She's super easy going and loving.
And too much of a licker for Adam. He's interested in her, but not really in petting her. Mostly, he wants to boss her around and close and open her kennel door. Or pretend to be a dog and do whatever she is doing. Whatever.
Laura is interested and pets her a lot, but still not super comfortable with her. It makes sense, though. Neither kids have ever been comfortable with dogs and this will take time.
Our fierce watchdog.
Oh, and she sleeps under blankets. She noses around until she's completely covered. Super cute!
And she came kennel trained! She loves it in there and goes in and out all day with the door open. Bonus!
Ava is 3 years old and was found as a stray in Wisconsin when she was about 1. The couple we got her from took her in and seem to have treated her very well. She is probably a beagle/boxer mix. The couple had to move houses and couldn't take her with them, so they put her on craigslist.org, where we found her. She has been very good at staying nearby the few times a kid didn't close the gate. Just call her back and she comes right along happily, so she doesn't seem to be a runner. Her only issues seem to be that she wants to lick the kids' faces and she will bark when a neighbor approaches our fence, which are pretty minor issues, especially since she is probably part beagle! Jim is tolerating her very nicely. This is definitely my dog, but I think we'll all end up fond of her.
