Pipistrelle "Pip" Scala

Since our Gumbo died in April, we have been missing a furry friend in the house.  Of course, we still have Caesar but we wanted a friend of the canine variety.  I'd been looking since we moved but no dogs caught my eye until I saw this little bat eared dog.  We wanted a dog that was at least 2 years old (past the puppy stage) but I fell in love with this face.  Plus, we needed a dog that was good with small kids and cats.  This was a pretty tough find.  
I went to meet her last Wednesday and she ended up coming home with me.  She's been a great pup so far and with some basic obedience, she will be awesome.  


This is the listing for  her


  Just look at those ears!  That's where we got her name.  A Pipistrelle is a little bat native to our area.  Doesn't she look like a little bat?


Other names that were suggested:
Emma like Buttercup and Pretzel
Myles liked Foxey
Grady liked Echo, Luna, Stella 




I surprised the boys in the car rider line when I picked them up from school.  They were thrilled.


Getting use to her new yard.



Grady, trying to teach her tricks


Poor dog was pretty overwhelmed with all the attention from the kids




We have no idea what breed she is.  Maybe some herding dog or german shepherd?
Myles insists that she is a "tea cup German Shepherd"









Welcome to this crazy family, Pip
