The Newest Addition to Our Family...thanks Katie Ham!

So I was on Facebook and saw a post from Katie Ham saying that a cute little German Shepherd had followed her home on her run a couple weeks ago.  She sat on her front porch and Katie saved her and brought her inside.  She called the Humane Society in Nashville and looked on Craigslist and Petfinder and all around the neighborhood and couldn't find anyone looking for a dog.  No collar and hadn't been eating much.  Anyway Katie put her picture on Facebook and the rest was history.  She waited a while to see if she could find an owner, and when no one surfaced, she drove her up to Memphis last Friday:
We took her to the vet and she is about 7 months old based on her teeth.  She is also about 20 pounds underweight, but if Coco is any kind of judge, we know how to fatten a dog up.  We are having a little trouble because Coco is about 10 pounds overweight.  Figuring out how to fatten one dog up and skinny another one at the same time is a bit of a challenge, so nobody tease big Coco if you see her.  We googled German names and decided to name her Ayla.  Coco is not sure what to think about her new sister.  She is sort of less than pleased but I think she's coming around:

Ayla is convinced they are going to best friends.  Coco is not so sure. She is so sweet!

  1. Coco is probably pissed that Brian loves Ayla more than her now!!!
