Starla! Get off the couch!

This is Starla at 7mos. I found this little lover at the pound in Santa Fe, Summer 2003, at 1mo. Now (May 2004)she's almost a year old, and by far the smartest and sweetest dog I have ever met. The Vet says she's a Ridgeback and Pitbull mix (when protective she gets a "mohawk") and she's extremely strong and athletic. She loves everyone, but is an escape artist so she's implanted with a microchip and has all kinds of tags. She's made friends all over town and is well known and welcome everywhere on account of her very good manners and sweet demeanor - she's super gentle with kids.
