Red Lake Rosie's own Cupid

Here's Cupid who came to the shelter last winter with very little hair, hungry, and had a litter. She has a great home now thanks to our supporters and Second Chance Dogs! They also had discovered she been previously shot in the back as she had birdshot pellets in her!

Very sweet dog! Karen

CUPID AND PUPSKaren: Remember that scruffy, thin haired, short legged, grey terrier / bassett or whatever mix (she looked like she was put together with spare parts) that was pregnant (from last year)?
Here she is, happy and healthy in her new home. Such an odd looking dog, but so very cute and sweet!

NOTE FROM NEW HOME:
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say Daisy (you called her Cupid) is a blessing. She is such a good girl. She goes for a 45 minute walk every day and we have figured out that the harness just lets her drag us, so we switched to a "gentle leader" and she walks much better.

Everywhere we go, people stop us to say how cute she is and ask if they can pet her. She is good with everyone. We have discovered if someone talks with their hands and is very animated and moves too much, she will grumble at them. She normally warms up to them after awhile.

It is funny how she talks to me when she wants something and I'm not moving quick enough. She is squirrel-obsessed when we walk at a local park. The squirrels know the dogs are leashed and are very bold letting them get a couple feet away before moving.

When we got Daisy, she had very little hair, but that's not the case anymore. She gets a haircut every six weeks by her Auntie Beth, the dog groomer.

We are tying to be much better pet owners this time, so we aren't giving her people food, but she loves the big real bones. The stuffed toys didn't last long because she likes to tear them apart.

She has lots of balls to play soccer with. She doesn't play fetch very well, but enjoys keep-away.

Red Wing just opened its first dog park area a block from our house so we have checked that out.

Thanks again and we love her lots.

Cupid/Daisy kinda looks like a tiny Chewbacca. :) So glad she found a good home! I'm thinking with the quick-movements and gesturing, she may have been harmed by someone, maybe even a child, who had the same kind of body movements. I once took in 2 cats that were afraid of men and found out a year later that the original owner's husband hated cats. Explained a lot! Thank you for the update about Daisy. Happy new year to you and your family! :)
