Adopting a MWD

My husband knowing that in the next few years will retire from the Army decided that he would enjoy retiring with another military member.  That being a military working dog.  He put in an application.  A number of months after submitting his application he emailed, just to get an estimate on where we were on the list.  They emailed back the next day saying they have a dog for us.  Her name is Ebby and is a 3 yr old German Shepherd.  She was used to train the handlers but started teaching the handlers what they were suppose to be doing instead of letting them handle her.  We are very excited that we will go to Texas and pick her up in a week or two.  We were sent a photo and she honestly looks a little bit happy crazy.

We currently have a turtle, white mouse, two guinea pigs, a tank of fish and an old orange and white cat.  It will be very interesting to see how Ebby fits into our busy crazy happy family.  My husband is working on making sure the fence is secure.  We have 1/2 an acre all ready for a good run for our new family member.  More to follow when we get her :)
