Congratulations!
I'm glad she is safe and well with you now!
Now we can demand pictures :D
Congratulations Tickle! You finally have Brook!
Who wouldn't :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

Brook comes from a home with three cats, so don't know what this is all about.
So far this morning she has had three short walks on the leash, wines a bit, playing to the gallery I think. She is pretty savvy.
Will get pics today and post too, I hope. I am off to work at 7:15 am. Chris my son is in charge now and I won't be home until five.
Thanks again guys.
Tick
Congratulations! That's great news:D
Wonderful news. Welcome home Brook. :)
Chris took a pic of her sleeping, she is pretty laid back actually, after the first day which I think is great. I will download tomorrow when I get home early and am off Friday. We are all doing well, however, poor Pick the kitty is not. Brook will not let her up from the basement and I miss her terribly. I am off to bed and god, only 7:30 !
Brook is all covered up sleeping on a pillow on the couch, wacked out, busy day keeping track of everyone and making sure they were all in the house ! There aren't too many things she does on command so will correct all that in time. Life is interesting again with a new furry friend around.

Tired tick w
Night Tick. Looking forward to the pics.)
Hey Tick! I just came across this thread. Brook is SO lucky to have found a loving home like yours! I can't wait to see the pictures :) CONGRATULATIONS to both you AND Brook!xo
Ah, thanks so much Flossie. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that my cat can't come up from the basement for any length of time ! Brook chases her back down.Quote:

Brook will get bored with Pickle eventually.
My fur kids were like that when I first bought Dora (my rabbit) inside... they went crazy for her for weeks, but now they just ignore her.

I promised pics of Brook; there will probably be better ones in time, but this is the best I can do at the moment guys. She weighs 47 lbs. still doesn't let Pickle up from the basement, bad scene yesterday trying to get them together. I know you all said it will take time but you can imagine why I am impatient cause Pickle was here first; she is really quite timid and don't forget she was a barn cat a few years ago, so that may make a difference.
Trying to find out her previous history is like pulling teeth. Recently found out her vet is in town and she has had her shots up dated, so that's good. I had made an appt. with my vet for next Friday, so not necessary now. Here is the clicker. Have to shop around for neutering, my vet charges $300 !

Awwww, look at that sad face :(
She's a doll Tick!
Tick, she is lovely. :)
I can't wait for more pics so we can start the 'guess the breeds' portion of the thread. :D
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
She's so beautiful. I love her coloring and her floppy ears.
Her face looks like my beagle, except for the colors. Also, she's a lot heavier then little Chewy, he's around 22 pounds and he's now full grown.
She's so gorgeous. I love her solemn eyes.
Well, have more to offer on that front. I am guessing beagle and pitt because of my experience with hounds. Coloring is unusual too, she has boots and the multi colour appears above that on her calves. I guess its called 'brindle'. She loves having her nose to the ground, sniffing all the way and points. Mmmmmm, interesting, yes, will try to post more pics, am not good at it and need my son to help me.Quote:

I'm guessing beagle, dachshund (because of the coloring) and then some larger breed because both those wouldn't add up to her size. From that picture I don't see any pit, but a profile picture would be better to determine that.
I'm almost thinking there might be some rottie in there, mainly because of the coloring, not any of the features.
Just a guess. No matter what breeds are in there, they all work very well together, she's absolutely beautiful.
She's very cute and loveable looking, tickle! Glad you were able to save her. I hope she and Pickle learn to get along very quickly!
Happy Mother's Day
Awwww she's gorgeous, I agree with Alty in saying there might be some Dachshund in there. Maybe on of the parents was a Pit x Doxie or a Beagle x Doxie.
Brooke is a beautiful dog tickle :)
She looks strangely familiar to me... :confused: Yes, she is very much like my first dog... except the latter had a darker muzzle.
Hi unk and everyone, thanks for the reply unk. Brook has one eyebrow lighter then other, gives her a quizzacle look.Quote:

Brook is absolutely wonderful after two weeks now. Her and I go out at 6am every morning to walk the neighbourhood and I really enjoy the solitude at that time, but our small town is becoming pretty busy lately. Big do this summer to celebrate the anniversary of the Prince of Wales coming to christen the town in the l850s. Actually, our town's name was spelled wrong and it stuck unfortunately because of all the excitement back then with him visiting and all the eligible 'maidens' being brought out for the different balls he was attending. Anyway...
Brook had her first bath (with me) today, the hound in her finds all the yucky stuff in the yard (lot of pine trees, etc.) from visiting animals during the night; she likes sleeping under the covers, so crawls down at my top end but really good through the night. I am really sorry I encouraged this sleeping in my bed (although I always had my dog with me at night) but I couldn't think of any other way to make her feel welcome in the household. However the die is cast and she is not a bad sleeping partner (hubby is in another room for various reasons I will not elaborate on here).
Took her for a car ride, not acceptable, that needs work. Couldn't get back in my car at the liquor store with all regulars looking on and guffawing. They will eat their shirts next time when they see how well she has come along.
I was told she was not socialized very well (understatement) with others, so walking Brook and fielding from another dog being walked is not a pretty sight. So maybe shaz has some hints on that aspect of our activities.
Happy tick
