A "Guiness" Anyone??

We decided to head to Costco in Guadaljara a couple of Sunday's ago.  Upon arriving home we see a little puppy sitting outside our front gate.  The little dog was apparently starving, you could easily see her rib bones poking through her skin.  We took out a bowl of food and water and she immediately wolfed it down as if she hadn't eaten in days.  We left her outside the gate to see if she would wander off.
No way, she stayed for a couple of hours with her little head poked through our gate crying to come into our yard.  We had company coming that afternoon for dinner so Greg put her in the car and took her to our local vet.  We asked our vet, Dr. Pepe if he would check her over, give her her shots, de flea her and keep her overnight.  Pepe agreed and we promised to return the next morning.  When our friends were here for dinner we told them about the little pup hoping they may want to take her in.  Marty then proceeded to tell us that she would like to take our black cocker Bella - that she had a little black cocker when she was growing up and would love to have her.  Marty & Wes asked us to consider it as they have a cocker spaniel and she needed the companionship. 
Anyways, the next morning we returned to Dr. Pepe's to see the little pup.  Pepe told us that she was a little 4 month old Rotti mix.  He thought she would be a medium size dog.  Greg and I had spent the previous evening discussing the options for this poor pup.  There were really one two options.  The first was to keep her.  The second was to take her to one of the local shelters and see if  she could find a good home.  After checking with a few of the shelters we found that there were so many dogs like her that simly could not find homes.  We were in a quandry as to what to do - we simply could not take her to the shelter.    So, we brought her home and thought we would see how it went.  Our dogs seemed fine with her presence - not too many problems.  So, drag out the crate!  Our friends returned after a few days for yet another visit.  This time they pleaded with us to give them Bella.  With 6 dogs, it was too much for us.  We didn't want to give them Bella but Marty said........" Please give us Bella, this way both dogs have good homes".
Since we live next door to M&W and would see Bella all the time, we finally agreed.
So, meet "Guiness"....  She has a lovely dispositon, friendly and loving and in time she will be a perfect little watchdog.
