Mei Ling

Here are some pictures of my new puppy, Mei Ling (nicknamed Mei Mei). My aunt saw her at the vet's office and told my mom about her, and she asked me if I'd rather have her or a Chihuahua, and so I said I'd take her.

My mom said that either the vet or my aunt (I'm not sure which) thought she was a Shar Pei, but when I saw her, I thought, "That's not a Shar Pei." Shar Pei are much more wrinkly, and have shorter, more curly tails. I think she looks like an Olde English Bulldogge, but I'm not sure. I sent an e-mail to my old boss, from the previous town I lived in, because she used to raise Bulldogges, so I'm hoping she could tell me if she is one or not. One of my cousins said they thought she might be a Pitbull, or at least part Pitbull, which wouldn't bother me much, but I know there's a lot of prejudice against them, due to the people who have trained them to be attack dogs and stuff, so I'm hoping she's not a Pit.

Anywho, she hardly ever whines, and she's fairly calm, although she does her fair share of chewing on me and my stuff. The only downside so far is that she seems to have a weak ankle. Her right foreleg is wobbly when she stands, and she limps on it just slightly, walking on her toes. We may need to get her a brace just to make it a bit more sturdy. Poor Mei Mei.
