Meet Jersey

Since our dog Roxanne died this summer our other dog Max has been really lonely. We have been looking for over a week now for a companion dog for him, and finally found this little 3 month old puppy.

They said at the shelter she was a weimaraner mix, but she looks nothing like a weimaraner. She and her 5 litter mates came from a kill shelter down south. They were going to be put to sleep, so this shelter in NJ offered to take them and that's where we found her. We actually applied to take one of her litter mates who was black with brown eyebrows and brown on the paws, but the shelter people got the pups mixed up and we got the black one instead. We decided to name her Jersey. She is such a good puppy. She already learned to sit and is crate trained. She doesn't even cry at night. I think she is probably a better match for our family than the other puppy would have been.

This is a weimaraner puppy. What do you think?

Max and Jersey get along fine. Right now they are batting out who is dominant, and Max is a bit jealous of the new puppy. It will take a little bit of time for them to get use to each other.

So meet Jersey, the newest member of our family!
