…but we ended up with another dog.
She wandered into our yard two weeks ago. Sweet, well-behaved, doesn’t chase the chickens and can fetch a ball.
The kids adopted her. She’s keeping the deer out of the food forest at night, which means she can stay.
We named her Betsy. My guess is that she was dropped by the highway and found our place because she knew children were there. She showed up on a Sunday morning, early, and met the children. Then when they left for church, she waited patiently on the steps until they came back.
I prefer plants to animals, but this little girl is all right. She looked pretty thin when she showed up but she’s getting good food and clean water now and looks healthier every day. She’ll never win a beauty contest, but as they say, she “has a great personality!”
Maybe we can train her to help us dig garden beds.

My golden doodle loves to help weed and dig. A little too much. He sees me out there pulling stuff and just starts indiscriminately pulling whatever he can get his mouth around.
Haha, my JackChi does the same thing!
Dogs who find you are the best kind. She will love you with all her heart until she takes her last breath.
Aww what do ya mean she’ll never win a beauty contest? She’s GORGEOUS! :)
Maybe its just the photo, but looks like she could be a chihuahua / pit bull mix.
Sounds like she is a good dog. It’s so disgusting the way people treat animals (dumping them).
I think she might be a pit/terrier, but that is a good guess too.
Love that smile! I guess you have a Good dog now, right?
I get cats the same way.
The dog’s smile seems sinister to me. Maybe just because I spend a lot of time on 4chan which has a weekly pitbull hate thread. I am sure it’s just me. Congratulations on the new dog with a mysterious past.
She may turn into a human on the full moon.
More likely a BAHFEEMUS.
Over the years ,I have been found by many dogs . they have all loved and been loved in turn and I miss those that have left me and keep the door open for the next one that passes by.
