 I have adopted this little brown puppy
(photo at left) at
the age of 2.5 months on Valentine's Day 2016 from the
Grainger
County Humane Society, a small and poorly funded
animal shelter. Apparently a black and white Border Collie &
Bird Dog mix (photo at right) was rescued while pregnant and
this little puppy was the "runt" of the litter, having some
difficulty after birth. The black and white mother gave birth to
all brown dogs so the father had to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback
Boxer mix providing the dominant genes.
 But now, at her very young age, she
is playful and energetic. She also plays rather aggressively
with
Gypsy, and has no fear of
"fighting" over a raw hide twist with the Belladonna.
Gypsy
immediately took to her and has started teaching her not
only how to play, but how to fight for a bone or food, how to
roughhouse with a toy and dig out the stuffing, how to work a
chew stick with her back teeth, how to wrestle, how to fight her way out of
a corner, and how to chase after a dog that steals her rawhide
or food. It is amazing to watch, and I realized she is teaching
this little puppy survival skills, and doing so in an aggressive
but loving way. Amazing!

In
Honor of Antonin Scalia
Associate Justice,
Supreme Court
of the
United States of America
Justice
Scalia
was murdered by Obama-affiliated
operatives on Saturday, 13 February 2016.
This great legal intellect has been lost and in memory
of his service to our nation. I brought the puppy home
the day after his murder and I named this little
puppy after him. |

Being a rescue dog, I have a
special affinity for this little puppy. She is loving and eager.
The connection that she has made with the Lady of the House (Gypsy)
has been immediate and incredibly sweet, and
the Belladonna is known for historically
mothering not only puppies but also kittens and even chickens!

Gypsy also has repeatedly gone to
check on Scalia when I have put the puppy in the large pen for
some nap/quiet time. Gypsy will often lay on the floor in front
of the pen looking at Scalia and will wait there until I let the
puppy out. The mothering instinct that was always so strong in
the Belladonna is fully present in her behaviors now that Scalia
has joined the household.
As Scalia grows over the next few
months, she will be a wonderful addition, and I know she will
provide
Gypsy with plenty of activity!
 More will be coming soon...
