Adopted yesterday. Cute little Redbone coonhound. Named her 'Koko',
which might be Navajo for
'coondog'.

Adopting a dog is tiring work!

===

Did you have to go through a home visitation and reference checks?
Some friends of ours in FL did all that.

Absolutely. You wouldn't believe all the questions on the application.
The home visit hasn't
occurred yet, but will be in the next week.


For a Redbone, you may need a falling down porch.


The doggie day care person and my vet both think the daddy may have been a bloodhound! I'm hoping
they're wrong.


Hmmm a coon hound and a bloodhound. I hope you like singing ;-)
That might end up being a pretty big dog too. At 11 weeks Deuce was 22
pounds. He is more like 108 now.


Size is my major worry. This dog is 17.4 on the vet's scale yesterday at 11 weeks. I'd wanted a
medium, about 45 lbs dog. Large dogs don't live as long as smaller ones. I could be looking at 65-70
lbs when fully grown. Hope like hell they're wrong.
