Skinner's Journal
January 4, 2015
She is a three-year-old mixed-breed. We adopted her from the Washington Animal Rescue League. They think she is part Dalmation and part Pointer. I think there are lots of other breeds mixed in as well. She was rescued from a shelter in Mississippi and brought up to DC. She is a really good girl -- very gentle, happy, and good with kids. Her tail is always wagging!
She's also semi-famous. For the last few weeks while she was in the shelter at the Washington Animal Rescue League, she and her puppies were featured on the Animal Planet Puppy cam. You can still watch her puppies there, but alas Rosie is no longer with them. (While she was in the shelter her name was Ellie Mae, and the animal planet website still shows her old name. But there is another dog named Ellie Mae literally right across the street from us, so we decided to give her a new name.) We did not know she was on the puppy cam until after we adopted her.
Meet the newest member of the Skinner family: Rosie!
