Daisy (previously Candy)

It's been just over 3 months that we've had our adorable pup and already it's hard to imagine life before her! From her first day at home she has been an absolute joy, something that was very surprising considering she had a full body cast and a cone on her head. That didn't slow her down in the slightest, as you can see by her big smiling face in the first photo.

Daisy is an excellent watch dog (without going overboard when the wind blows leaves across the sidewalk) and very smart. She is a total cuddle bug to the point where we can't even take her outside right after work--she needs at least 10 minutes of belly scratching before she's calm enough to go outside! Once we're outdoors she's very good on a leash and can run on 3 legs just as fast as any 4-legged dog I've seen.

She spends most of her time on our bed looking out the window, which faces the driveway. When we pull up from work her little head pops up and you can see her tail start wagging. However, she doesn't even make a move until she hears the car lock. Then she bolts to greet us at the front door. We've said that no matter how terrible our days have been, it all goes away when she greets us!

Thank you so much to all the wonderful volunteers at APR (especially Karen Levy!) who helped guide us to the perfect addition to our family! We love her so much!
