A Mutt, through and through

On September 11 we got a puppy. We have been talking about getting a dog for a long time (Jon really wanted one), but the situation has never been right. I got an email at work from someone who had rescued a litter of puppies from a construction site next to her house. They were too cute not to bring one home. Our puppy’s name is Charly. Her mom is a Saluki mix—which is the most common kind of dog here. Purebred Saluki’s are like greyhounds, but most of the mixes are not that tall and skinny. We don’t know what Charly’s dad was, but the litter looks so different, we wonder if there were more than one father for the litter. Charly is definitely a mutt, but she is very cute.

This first set of pictures was taken by the lady who rescued the pups when they were about 5 weeks old.

Here are a few pictures I took of Charly once we got her home. In these pictures she is 7-8 weeks old.
