This is Taffy.
She is the one seen in my Wordless Wednesday post snuggling with my daddy. Apparently, Mom and Dad went to the vet to meet her one night after work last week.
Nobody even asked me how I felt about this.
They just went and picked her up on their way home from work Friday night. I bet you're wondering what my reaction was when I found out, aren't you?

Momma and Daddy had told Dr. Abby that they were interested in a wire-hair doxie if one ever comes up for adoption thru Hard Luck Hounds.
A couple of weeks ago, Dr. Abby sent an email asking if they would be interested in a female wire hair that has been in a breeding facility. Momma had been secretly hoping to rescue a dog that had been at a puppy mill. Momma said she knew right away this was gonna be the right dog for us.
And, next thing I know I have a new sibling.

Taffy has never had a name before,
she was only a number.
she was only a number.
She is 3 years old and doesn't know how to play.
Her 3 years have been spent in confinement
making as many puppies as possible.

She has never even had someone spend enough time with her to potty train her or teach her any sort of manners.
She has never been on a leash before and it is obvious that she has never worn a collar before either.
Her teeth look like they belong to a dog at least twice her age. (She has to get them cleaned soon.)
She doesn't even know how to chew on a bone
:o(
She is a very sweet girl and loves to be loved.
She is also camera shy and these are the only photos Momma has been able to get so far.
As you guys know, we have lots going on here already as we are preparing for Grandma's transplant. Momma has been working with Aunt Shannon and Grandpa to get the house cleaned and ready. Grandma isn't allowed to help.
Grandma has to have lots of testing to make sure her body can withstand the treatments and transplant. They found an electical impulse abnormality in her heart and now she has to have some special tests at the cardiology office.
Please pray that these tests come back normal.
Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts, crossed paws, prayers, and patience.

Wow she sounds alot like me 7 1/2 years ago. I think she lucked into a pretty good home! Just sayin' Plus she was rescued from a puppymill at the age of three and I came from a (low scale) puppy mill at the age of three. So just look how wonderful I turned out. BOL Kudos for welcoming her into your family. She is quite a cutie!

OMD...OMD...OMD...Welcome Home Taffy!!!!!!! What a wonderful blessing dat hers has found da most wonderful, loving home. OMD! I can't type fast enough.
My little doxie heart just wants to scream I am so excited!
Her sounds JUST like my sissy when hers came heres to live. Hers wasn't potty trained eithers but goodness me did hers ever catch on quick. Her was getting purty reliable just afters da furst week. Hers didn't do collars or leashes, or toys, or boys, and sadly hers didn't do affection. Her wanted and wants to be loved but her still has a hard time. Her is getting betters everyday though.
Sorry, I could go on and on bouts Whitney.
Ya;ll just take it easy and we totally understand ya'll has tons goin on right nows but if you need us then we is heres.
Hugs to all of you and congrats again to your beautiful new sissy.

Congratulations on your new sister. In the beginning I also felt a lot like you when I knew Dottie and Alven were coming to live with me. Now, I have gotten used to them and I guess they are not so bad to have around. I'm sure you'll feel the same way about Taffy. We will cross our paws for your Grandma and send her the bestest thoughts.
