This is Dahlia, my latest bag of bones. I found her wandering down Noble Street (with no ID or collar, of course) on my way home from work yesterday (10/01/10). She was near the new Dollar General. I parked there and tried to encourage her to come to me, but she walked away. When I walked towards her, she walked away faster. 🙁 I thought she would be too skittish to ever to come to me and considered just leaving her be, but I couldn't just drive away. I don't understand how anyone can do that.

So, I drove my car a little closer, turned it off, and opened the door. I talked to her and she finally approached me and let me pet her. She started to walk away several times, but I called her back and each time she returned. Finally, she licked me so I took that as a sign that she wanted to get in my car.

She ate and drank a LOT when I got her home. She was nice for her bath. I think she's young - less than a year old. She appears to have never had a litter of pups, but I highly doubt that she's spayed. Very sweet, and so far - gets along great with my other dogs. Definitely a large breed something or other. Also, no accidents in the house so far.
