I saw Caitlin’s post yesterday about her dog James, and thought it would be a nice to list five facts about our own dog, Kahlua. October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and by coincidence, we adopted her last October from the local Humane Society.

She had been there for almost 3 months, had a few potential adopters, but nothing went through until we came along and immediately fell in love with her.

Fact #1:

She’s our own personal bed warmer. She likes to lie as close as possible to us, and sometimes comes close to pushing us off the bed!

Fact #3:

She has black spots on her tongue and can catch just about any treat from a good distance. It took about 20 minutes and lots of scratches on my arms to teach her how to roll over.

Fact #4:

She doesn’t care much for other dogs, except one. Our friend’s dog Stitch. We call him her boyfriend because he is the only dog that she gets along with. We have tried socializing her with classes and other family dogs, but no luck so far. We won’t give up though.

Fact #5:

If she gets too anxious in the car, she drools…..a lot. Which is why we always have to put a towel and sheet down. She never drools anywhere else.

And, of course, she loves to run!
