Well we finally got to bring her home today. We've decided to name her Chamois (pronounced Shamee). Our first dog is Squeegee, named because my husband is a window cleaner so we decided to carry on the tradition of work related names.

So far she's been very timid, as expected. She won't go to the kitchen so I brought her some food and water in her little hiding place and she wolfed it down. We let her meet Squeegee outside first and they sniffed and seemed fine. Once we got inside he has just been hopping around her arooing at her while she lays under the table and looks at him. She is allowing us to pet her and isn't shaking anymore so there's some progress. Hopefully as the day goes on she'll get comfortable enough to take a nap. Here are some pictures:

She's obviously mixed with something but I just can't figure out what it is.

Aww. She's a sweetie. I hope she gets comfortable in her new home quickly.

First of all, Vicki, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the name!! How cute is the combo of Squeegee and Chamois??? And so original!! Chamois is a cutie! I'm not sure what she is mixed with, but she definitely looks like a beagle!!

I look forward to hearing about Chamois getting settled in to her forever home!!!

Chamois is very pretty

My first thought was Rhodesian Ridgeback, but then I figured they are too big to mate with a Beagle (maybe?).... I have a feeling it's a dog from the hound group.

Either way, she looks very sweet

She is beautiful, and I wish you the best with your new addition, I am sure she will warm up just nicely!

What a perfect name! I have no idea what mix she is, but whatever it is, it works...she's beautiful!

That is one beautiful beagle mix, more beagle than anything. Give her time, she will settle in and slowly get id of any baggage she is carrying. Again, thank you so much for rescuing her.

She's pretty! I love that you carried on the naming tradition. She does look like she's got Ridgeback in her or definitely some hound.

 

[Murphys Dad]

Beautiful girl, and her name's great!

Love the name, love the new arrival! Are the pictures posted newest first? If so, I think I can almost see her relaxing in the pictures already... which probably bodes well for her in the long run. Good luck and keep us posted with lots of pictures!

 

[vkschoch]

BookerMoose, Yeah the newest ones are on the right and the most recent on the left. Thank you all for the encouragement on both the name and on bringing her home. She seems to be much more comfortable with Squeegee already and a maybe a little more comfortable with us. She and Squeegee were rolling around and wrestling already but she still runs whenever we approach her.

She is adorable. I am sure after a few days with you, she will settle in and be like she's been there forever. Good luck!

Great name and a pretty little girl. Congratulations!

Congrats, she is very pretty & I am sure that they will get along great!

 

[Smeagle]

She's really cute!

I wonder if she might have English Pointer in her with that body shape? You will have to get a side on pic of her standing up for comparison!

 

[Opus]

She is beautiful! And what a creative name. I love it!

 

[Pack Leader]

She is a beautiful girl! Thank you for adopting her!
