Well it's been quiet on the blog recently but that doesn't mean that nothing has been happening in Connie's life! She just experienced a big change - she has a forever home! Connie's charm won over her foster dad and in her irresistible wiggly-butt way, she squirmed her way into his heart and he knew he had to adopt her. So this wonderful little girl is now living in the big city with a human to call her own.
It's been quite an adventure, Connie, but you're finally home and we're so happy for you!!

New home (and old name)
Connie moved back to DC on Friday, into a new foster home. Her foster dad will take over blogging for her pretty soon - I think she's going to be really happy with him. Already she follows him around and has enjoyed her walks around Petworth.
Those of you who have been reading this blog might notice that Connie's name has changed from Annabelle. Her original shelter name was Connie; she was named after the mother of the animal control officer who brought her in to the shelter. When we started this blog, we decided to change her name to Annabelle, since it would give her a clean break from the shelter. But she knows the name Connie since that's what she's been being called since coming in to rescue in March (2009), so we've decided to revert to that name. Might as well save her name change until she's in her permanent home - it shouldn't be that hard to transition her over, but might as well have her only go through one such transition.

Ready to go
I took Connie to the vet today to get ready for next week's trip. She's gain 8 pounds since her last vet appointment (up to 45 pounds now) and you can still see all her ribs...I think it all went to her very muscular thighs. She tested negative for heartworms and parasites, and got her rabies, distemper and bordetella vaccinations, so she's ready to go!

Trip preparations
Connie's time with me is coming to an end - she'll be returning to a foster home in the DC area on January 22nd or 23rd. She'll be the only dog in her home then - while she likes playing with Willow, she's definitely very people-focused and she'll enjoy having a human all to herself for once, I think. Hopefully it will warm up a little by then but, if not, she'll be getting a new coat that fits her better to help keep her warm - her (almost nonexistent) pit bull coat is no protection against cold temperatures!
