Betty is a seven year old breeding gal, now retired! She came from a puppy mill in Tennessee so she has a bit of an accent, but tells me that I talk funny! So far Betty has been nothing but a total sweetheart of a girl, a true Southern Belle!

Betty is very shy right now, but is coming out of her shell more and more by the hour.She was super reserved when we picked her up yesterday, but she has already decided that she should be allowed to sleep in our bedroom even though it means braving two flights of stairs in the dark!  Honestly, I didn't think she had ever seen stairs. She is not terribly coordinated when climbing them, but she does like to follow us from room to room and won't let a few stairs get in her way.

I took Betty for a walk this lovely afternoon.  I think it felt good on her legs to stretch out after such a long road trip.  She is a champ on a loose lead.  She only got frightened twice by strangers we met on the way, but she got over it pretty well.  The more we do this, the less frightened she will be.

Betty has a few health issues that we are getting checked out tomorrow.  Hopefully we can schedule her spay really soon and get her on the road to recovery.  I really think that Betty will adjust quickly to the golden life.  Heck, she was taunting Leroy when I came inside to write this!

Please visit this page frequently as Betty has lots of adventures planned for her!
