It's Chewy. . .

Or Chuy, depending on how you want to interpret the name.

We have decided to keep the little ankle-biter that washed up here at Tree Houses a few weeks ago.

(This is not an actual picture as we don't have one yet, but this is pretty close to what she looks like).

Chewy--I'm spelling it that way for Chewbacca of Star Wars fame; Lucy is going with Chuy, for Chelsea Handler's "Little Nugget."

She does like to chew and particularly on shoelaces, pant legs, fingers, toes, etc. Unfortunately, that also applies to cane toads, which emit a toxin that will kill dogs. Hence, we've had to keep an eye on her when the toads are out and about.

She's pitbull/black lab and the vet pegs her age at 3 months. She already weighs more than Mini-B and delights in terrorizing Bejuca and Mini-B with yaps and little growls.

She should grow up to be around 50 pounds or so and will make a nice addition to the brood.
