Meet Aspen.
Aspen is the newest entry at the Hunseder Hound Hacienda. Sadly Aspen's family had to surrender her and two other Greyhounds due to health reasons and the need to relocate to a place where they cannot have the dogs. They were very upset to have to lose their kids, and I cannot imagine what they went through to reach the decision. We couldn't take all three, and any more males in the house may be an issue. So we decided to take one...Aspen. She's a 9 year old girl who was with them since she was two. She has a sweet disposition and is doing well in the new pack.
Today will be the usual flurry of activity as we get her personalized tags, check her medical background and make her at home here. (She arrived last night, and the night went well as she slept near our bed.)
This puts the hound pack at 6 again. It still is fresh in our minds that we lost Figgy and Macho this year. While Aspen is not a replacement, she brings a little of each to the house. She's a white girl like our Fig and likes to snuggle on the couch, and she has the cool "Macho ears" that meet like a triangle when they are perked up. Hers actually cross a little at the tips!
