: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 05, 2007, 05:23:37 AM
Julie reminded me.

I went to meet this girl today. I saw her on petfinder and she looked SO MUCH like Cabeza I had to go meet her. She was a SWEEEEEET baby! She would fit into our family like a glove.

Well, they could be bookends. Although she's a little smaller and more brownish, and her nose is slightly longer...

they have the same eyes. Dang it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAH !

You guys are a TRIP! I'm making Mark go meet her this afternoon. I told him we're bringing her home. We'll see. I know that he won't be able to resist. She's like a female Cabeza.

We're picking Mabel up after 10 am tomorrow!

I went and hung out with her in her kennel today. She's a MUNCH! She's so much like Cabeza I almost cried just seeing her in there.

You will be bombarded with pics tomorrow!

Thanks, Kelly and Rachel! Its funny. Although we've had like, a zillion dogs over the years (most of them temporary on their way to their real home) this is the first time EVER that I have filled out an application from a shelter and adopted one!

Isn't that funny?
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 07, 2007, 04:02:18 AM
Yeah, I'm thinking its going to stay Mabel. I think its funny. And kinda suits her, too. My neighbor thinks I should change it to something with a sharper consonant sound. But, I don't think we're going to have to worry about recall or whatever. She's really really REAAAAALLLLY mellow.
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: EllieAndBlu June 07, 2007, 04:19:23 AM
HAHAHAHA - Julie that is hysterical!  ;D
p.s. I too LOVEEEE the name Mabel!

WOW! Congrats on the new addition! Cabeza is gonna have a sister! I'm so excited for you Nicole, good luck with her! Oh, and i love the name Mable.
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 08, 2007, 10:36:09 PM
MABLE IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She's wonderful and fitting in beautifully. I can't find my camera, so you all will have to wait for pics until later this afternoon!
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 09, 2007, 03:56:08 AM
You're right Holly. Its Mabel.  :-* I found the camera. Pics to come.
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 09, 2007, 04:35:46 AM
OMG! I left the USB cable at work. Sorry everyone.

So, I'll just tell you all about her instead.  ;D

She's AWESOME with a capital A. She sits, she shakes, she lays down and she is glued to my side. Offleash, she's right there, on-leash, she's a dream. No pulling, nothin'. This dog has clearly had love and guidance in her life. She doesn't have any issues. She came right in and cuddled up with Lex the kitty. She and Cabeza have been laying right next to one another chewing Bully Stix all day long.

She doesn't like to be outside. She runs out, does her business, and then waits at the door to go back in.

I think she might be kind of old. She's a little stiff-ish when she gets up and her eyes are kind of cloudy. Teeth aren't bad, though. But, who knows? She was a stray. So, maybe fresh water, Evo and lots of love will bring out the true princess that she is. She did have once accident in the house, but Mark and I were gone longer than we had anticipated, so I take responsiblity for that. It was just a little bit of pee, so no big deal.

We are all in love with her. Mark has been the sweetest thing. The first thing he did when we brought her home was get out a big ol' bunch of cheese and try and make her love him more. (he failed. She still loves me more. ;)

Sorry, kind of long and I know that this story isn't any replacement for photos, but I figured I'd give it a try.

Awww, I'm so happy Mabel has a happy new home and Cabeza has a new sister.  That's wonderful!!!   ;D  ;D

: EllieAndBlu June 10, 2007, 10:51:10 PM
I am so in love with Mabel and I haven't even seen her mug yet!  She sounds amazing! I am so happy for y'all! Bring on the pics!  ;D
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 10, 2007, 10:54:28 PM
Rachel-
I promise I will post pics tonight! I already stuck the USB cable in my purse so that I can do it.

I'm starting to think that she might have some Collie in her. Her schnozz is kinda long, and she's pretty tall. She's taller than Cabeza but weighs like, 20 pounds less! Isn't that crazy?
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 11, 2007, 12:14:01 AM
No, no idea where she came from. Her rear-end was recently shaved down (I think that they call that a "hygenic clip?) so, I'm going to call around to some of the groomers and see if they know anything about her.

I'm kind of torn, though. Because I wouldn't want to give her back unless her previous owners ROCKED! And if they rocked, they would have looked for her at the shelter, right?  ???
: Re: Speaking of the Noggin
: Nicole June 13, 2007, 11:19:27 PM
ugh, sorry...

I DID take the USB cord home. Its now sitting on the desk with the camera. I will do better tonight.

Hey Nicole

Congratulation s on your new Friend Mabel.. I have been reading your Post for a few days, It was actually very funny..I really like the part where your Dog was leaving you messages.. You have a lot of Good Friends on here.. Very Funny ones too!

I was starting to wonder if you even had a Dog, I thought you might have had a Frog ;)

Best wishes to you, and Mabel.. You sound like a great match. Sounds like she was meant to be with you.

Cheers,
Shell
