We’ve done some digging and have confirmed that our cute little puppy is not a sharpei.  Nope, she’s a heeler.  Also known as an Australian Cattle Dog.  And that means that she does the following things quite well:

• Herd Cattle.  Of which I have none
• Chew on anything and everything that moves and doesn’t move.  We have lots of these
• Require huge amounts of attention to keep from chewing on anything and everything that moves and doesn’t move.

So its going to be interesting   Turns out to further make things interesting Jessica may be permanently allergic to the dog.  So we might have to return her to the Colorado Puppy Rescue and let someone else rescue her… again.  We’ll keep you posted.
