Meet Viola

My sister Mallory adopted a puppy yesterday that is a combination of chihuahua and rat terrier. She named her Viola (pronounced Vi-la) after a character in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. Apparently the dog adoption process in North Carolina is a little demanding. Mallory had to interview with three separate people before one lady had to go do a house visit to make sure my parents' house was an ok environment for the dog. Surprisingly Mallory didn't have to leave a blood or urine sample! She was finally able to bring the puppy home today, so welcome Viola!

It was a very nerve shattering experience, but well worth it. Viola is a great pup and is pretty much house broken, doesn't chew things(except her new toys),sits on command, and loves her aunt Hattie. Hattie actually picked her out.

She is a cutie! That adoption process sounds nerve wracking. God, here, I think you just have to walk in and say "I want a dog" and they hand you one :)

Congrats, Mallory - she's a cutie!
