So I got a dog . . .

Well, life's had some pretty significant changes lately, and low and behold, a dog comes into my life. I had been contemplating adding a companion animal to my zoo for a while now, the snakes have been downsized since I moved last year, and I stay fairly focused on Reticulated Pythons now, but nevertheless, I did not know what kind of pooch to add. . .

Earlier this week, a post went out on a local exotics board, looking for a new owner for a hybrid pup. It was listed as 75% Timber Wolf, 25% German Shepherd. I was slightly hesitant for many many obvious reasons (validity of its origin, nature of the beast, behavior, illnesses, etc etc), but after talking with the owner who needed to find it good home, and countless hours pouring through articles, papers, and owner reports to know what I'm getting into. I took the plunge and adopted her! So without any more hesitation, here's my new house companion Diamond;





She was born August 24th, 2014, and as of last night weighs 55lb!! She is in perfect health, and is scheduled for a routine Spay next month!

Cheers,
