My Chloe up at the Chatahoochee river. We love this girl. The only thing my husband and I argued about when we first got married was about getting a dog. His mom had so many he was just over them (so he thought). I knew I wanted a white picket fence and two kids and a dog! One day right before getting pregnant with my first I went to the humane society just to pet the dogs and give them some love. I met her and knew she was perfect so I brought her home unbeknownst to my husband. I had to stop at the store to buy food and some bowls for her. She's the best hound.

Irony is that she's like a psycho girlfriend over my husband. She pines for him and waits for him to pull up and gets all excited to see him.. she gets upset if he goes outside for a minute and she can't be right there with him. I know it's illegal to have a dog unleashed in our yard, but she just lounges in the grass and watched folks walk by.. I've seen new walkers give me the look, but I guess they realize she's fine. Haven't had anyone call on me yet.

She gives a mean bark when someone comes onto the property and I love that she lets me know someone is here.
