Bringing Maya home tomorrow

Post by Esteeba »

I'm so excited to finally bring my 4 month old shepherd to her new home. I am a deafened veteran and have waited for quite a while for her.

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

:lol: Are we noticing a pattern with regards to picture requests? I'd had Mokume for many days before I posted about him 'cuz I couldn't post pictures right away (I don't have a working computer at home, I often post from my phone, but to attach pictures I need to email them to myself, then when I have spare time at work resize them on a real computer and post them,) and I "didn't dare" announce him until I had pictures! ;) We all love pictures, here! :lol:)

Maya is in her new home and is exploring and adjusting well. I'm having a bit of trouble uploading the picture, but will post when I figure it out. Thank you all for your support.
