Friday dog blogging: Christmas in July

It seems the pet of choice for many in the blogosphere are cats. I'm an all around animal lover so I don't mind cats. But I really love my dog.

Princess (not the name I'd have chosen for her..but she responds to it so we didn't change it) is a rescue dog. We picked her up three years ago from a rescue ranch in Northern California.

We don't know much about her history before she came into our lives. It's obvious to us that she was abused, however. She's very skittish around new people. She's been known to take weeks to get used to someone new. She has scars several places on her head. She's also mostly deaf in her left ear.

She has abandonment issues as well. She refuses to eat if we leave and lays by the door until we return.

Last Christmas she discovered our tree skirt. It's very soft and turned out to be the perfect place for a dog nap.
