Is this the face of a canine that can replace Bandit's big shoes? We'll see, but she's doing a good job so far. We started thinking of getting another dog about October, but postponed looking due to my father's illness. But, it seemed like a good time now. I checked out our local pounds and the Humane Society and found " fudge" and her brother "gingerbread" at the latter. As I came through the door and asked to see Fudge, another woman was hot on my heels to see Fudge as well. Then a married couple walked in also to see Fudge. Apparently the puppies pictures were on the website of the Humane Society. All of a sudden I felt this mad rush to fill out the paperwork and bring Fudge home. Her dad was a Chocolate Lab and her mother a mini Border Collie. So she'll be a smart frisbee catching, water dog digging machine.
After days of tossing around names like Gretel, Strudel, and Lucy, Rick suddenly remembers the 70's tv show Battle Star Galactica had a brown fluffy robot dog whose ears would rotate, anmed Muffet. And just like that, the name stuck.
Muffet took to the kids immeadiately. She follows them, tries to jump on the couch with them, bites their toes to get them to play with her and uses their toys as chewies. Auntie Robin found 3 Zhu Zhu pets for us for Christmas, but apparently she didn't know she was buying them for Muffet's enjoyment. Muffet can use her paw to whack them into the "on" position. Then chases them all over the floor.
Adeline has a love-hate relationship with Muffet. Sometimes she wants to walk her, sleep with her and feed her, and other times she picks everything of hers up off the floor and keeps saying" that's not a toy mubbet" Since she can't say Muffet yet. I think Bandit would be smiling down from heaven at our new little fudgy puppy and say " It was time to move on."
