Happy "Gotcha" Day, Pepper!

Seven years ago, Chris and I got our first little one.  A black, grey, white and brown Catahoula puppy named Pepper!  Since we don't know our dogs' birthdays, I think we'll start celebrating their adoption days since I recently found all their paperwork while cleaning out our file cabinet. 

October 2004


Name:  Pepper

Nicknames:  Pepper Pep, Peppy, Lil' Pep, Pepperoni, Crooked Face

Original Name:  Camelia

Where Did She Come From:  Blue Dog Rescue:  Austin, TX
(She's still posted on their website under "success!")

Her Story:  The story from Blue Dog said that she showed up on a doorstep of a dog owner who just recently adopted a dog through Blue Dog.  She knew exactly who to call when this adorable pup appeared.  I think Chris found her on the Blue Dog website and the rest is history!

Favorite Activities:  Chewing on toys, Chewing on her leash, (as a puppy.. chewing on furniture and base boards!), Biting water from the hose, Giving kisses, Trying to sleep on our bed, Hunting geckos, Avoiding drains while on walks, Digging

In honor of this special day, Pepper decided to come into the house with mud caked in her front paws!  Fun morning of cleaning her up and vacuuming before work.  She's a stinker but we love her!
