Gotcha day!

 Four years ago I was looking on petfinder and found a cute 5-6 year old  rat terrier.  We didn't want a puppy and we were looking for a harder to adopt dog since we had experience with reactive dogs. We also don't have cats or kids and we planned on only having one dog. 

We'd never heard of the breed and we actually looking at Jack Russell Terriers - thank goodness I was intrigued by this short legged girl!  After working with New Rattitude and then being approved, Catty came to live with us!

Because of this silly girl we've ventured down many roads I would have never expected.  We've had lots of learning experiences and all of us are better because of our journey together.   Here's to more learning, lots more fun times together that include more training (for me), more Nose Work all while continuing to deepen our relationship together as a team.


Pretty Rat Terrier girl!
She loves to sit on my lap (or her dad's) while we are on the computer! 
Her funny default of "sit pretty" - makes us laugh every time!
Always ready to do something...
She's wonderful with her rattie brother!
One of Catty's photos that was featured in Melissa Mcdaniel's Puppy-Mill Survivors photo book.  You can read more about this blog post Puppy-Mill Survivors book
 
 
Happy gotcha day to our sweet Catty girl - we love all of your terrier self!
