On Wednesday, my mother found a beautiful Westie girl lost near our house. Even though my mother dislikes dogs, this girl was sweet enough to win her over, and she allowed her to stay. My mother called me, and I brought her some dog food and doggy shampoo from my father's place. Indeed, I soon found out that she was the most well-adjusted, good-natured, manageable dog I have ever met. As I parked the car and got off it, the small, white ball of fluff hurried towards me, her tail wagging and her eyes shining with a bright smile.
She allowed me to check her mouth, ears and eyes, I had no problems picking her up and bathing her - and she had only known me for 20 minutes! It was quite evident this dog came from a family were she was loved and cared deeply, so on Thursday we printed some signs, bought her a collar (Khali's old collars were nowhere to be found) and started searching for her family. I went to the nearby vets and dog grooming places by car, and then I took her on a walk. I was delighted to notice this little girl didn't pull on the leash, and she happily waited by my side as I pasted signs all over the place.
Today we rang the bells of over 20 houses, asking if the knew this dog, and sadly nobody knew her. Heck, we even rang my school's headmaster's house!
The vet told us she has no chip, and she is over 5 years old. She seems quite healthy, and is very energetic. She is docile and soft-mouthed, and is great with children and cats.
My mom said that if we don't find her owner in two weeks, we'll have to find her a new home, but I really hope that we can keep her. And even my mother seems pretty attached to her, she even put a red ribbon on her, and she freaks out every time Angie (that's the name my mom chose) gets near our fence, "because she might escape". She's just perfect for us! She still hasn't met Khali, but Angie isn't dog agressive at all, so I think it might work... (Khali is with me, at my father's house, and Angie is at my mom's)
