This stray little girl has been hanging around outside my place for the last couple of weeks; I've posted on several local lost pets sites, etc and haven't gotten any responses. She's verrrrry timid around people (multiple neighbors have tried and failed to tempt her inside with food) but she seems to have fallen head over heels for Dart, waiting outside for us to come out for a walk and then following him around like velcro while we're outside.
This morning she followed Dart straight into the house after our walk, so I got a slip lead on her and took her to the vet for some vaccinations/deworming/etc (she's crawling with fleas and other critters on the outside, presumably crawling with them on the inside as well.). I'll keep trying to find her people, but I'm suspecting she was dumped (this particular couple blocks of the small town I live in seems to have a reputation as the place to dump unwanted animals, there are constantly strays, mostly cats, but also some dogs). Soooo, if no one shows up for her, I may end up getting a second dog since she gets along with Dart so well, which is fairly rare for him. Name suggestions? she went in to the vet as "Jane Doe", but I'm not sure I like Jane as a name for her.
