Dinah

Well...I finally decided to get another coonhound. Her name is Dinah and she is related to Izzy. She isn't a puppy but that's ok with me. She  was given to me by Bob, the same guy handing Izzy to me as a puppy. He was the co breeder which Izzy came from. She fits in great with the family...our other dogs have accepted her.She does not jump on our counters which is great considering she is a big girl She sleeps on Izzy baby mattress dog bed which is up in my room, she also eat and drinks out of Izzy's feeder. This does not mean that she replaced Izzy, but instead we say she is continuing Izzy's work. Especially since Dinah's related to her I hope Izzy would approve!!! We've had Dinah for a month or so...she has adjusted quite nicely.

It was almost exactly a year since Izzy had passed away when I got Dinah. I didn't want to get another dog because II was worried how Izzy might feel about it. It might sound silly!!!
