Pet-Peeves: Seeing the other dogs taken outside while she waits for her turn inside The Crate. Horrors!
Favorite Toy: Kong! ...although her Evil Cuz is rapidly gaining ground.
Favorite Food: Wellness kibble...ever since we found a store that actually sells it
Favorite Walk: She enjoys a romp through the clumps of tall grass around the perimeter of the property
Best Tricks: "Sit," for now. Also she has a magical ability to make Mommy late; we think it has something to do with the irresistable pull of The Belleh, Which Must Be Rubbed.
Arrival Story: On Saturday, February 3 2006, we got a call from B.R.A.T. asking for help with a puppy, a Basenji mix puppy in south Texas in urgent need of a home. The puppy, estimated to be somewhere between six and ten months old, was at Last Chance Rescue and was scheduled to be euthanized that coming Tuesday.
Although we already had two dogs of our own and one foster, my husband and I agreed to drive down the next day and adopt her. (We're fools.)
So on Sunday the fourth we made the four-and-a-half-hour drive down to Ingleside from Houston. It was worth it, though, when this princess bounded out to greet us as if to say, "Well? Where have you guys been? I'm ready to go home now." Right off the bat this Precious girl went out of the way to let us know who is the friendliest, sweetest pup imaginable. She was calm and cheeful on the long drive back to her new home and she charmed the vet the next day when we took her for her shots. Ida is settling in nicely. Our little household is finally complete!
Bio: Ida would like to thank B.R.A.T., Last Chance, and the angels who did so much to get her into our home: Lorena at Last Chance (who came in on a Sunday to make sure we could get our girl) and Bunmi, Rascal, Spinner, and Chica Bella's mom who came to visit this Precious puppy when she was still at Last Chance (and who then called us up to tell us what a treasure was waiting for us down south.) Thanks, guys!

I've Been On Dogster Since:
...which means Mom actually takes us to the bark park again, since there's less danger of everyone's skin melting off in the horrible Houston heat. We just got back from a good romp around Danny Jackson. I made some friends and got to ruuun and run and run like I don't usually get to do when we're cooped up inside. Monty stretched out and ran like the wind--maybe he's right when he brags about being the world's fastest dog.
Last week Monty and I hung out at a special hotel just for dogs and cats--Livy got to go stay with Gran'ma and Gran'pa D. It was okay I guess but I would've liked to go with Mommy and Daddy because they were visiting Mommy's mommy and daddy and I've never met those guys before. Mom even got to hang out with Uncle Milo and she said I'd be a good playmate for him. She said the bark park where Grandma M takes Milo is really wild compared to ours down here in Texas: ours are manicured and landscaped and open...Uncle Milo's park is full of brambles and tall grass and other fun stuff. I really hope we all get to visit Grandma and Grandpa M soon!
We're so happy--Mom just made an appointment with the nice vet and we're gonna go get our heartworm stuff (yum) AND we're gonna get some flea preventative. Mom and Dad have been really worried--me and Livy are getting eaten alive and that's so not okay. So on Monday Mom and Dad will celebrate their anniversary by taking us little dogs up to the nice vet and getting us all taken care of. Hooray!
...but Mom and Dad still aren't unpacked even though we've been here almost a month. (What lazy jerks--I mean, really.) ALSO we haven't been to the close-by dog park yet. WHATEVER. Mom promised that when they have more money they'll splurge on some fancy treats and accessories at the dog boutique in the mall where they work. THEY'D BETTER.
