I am temporarily caring for a new RAGOM girl named Millie. Millie is a Golden mix who was brought to Sioux City Animal Control as a stray. She is a medium size dog (~65 lbs), perhaps 3-4 years old, and her fur is incredibly soft and fluffy. When I picked her up at the shelter, she was a little nervous and afraid to get the car. But once we got going she was fine and gave me a big "thank you for getting me out of there" smile! When we got home, Millie met the other dogs (five!) and got along great with all of them. She even played a few doggie games. I also introduced her to our three cats; she sniffed them a little, decided they weren't terribly interesting and then moved on to explore the rest of the house. Millie also played very nicely with our 4-year-old daughter; she is playful, yet still very gentle with the little ones. And she has not had any accidents, so it is safe to say she is housetrained. She respects the baby gates and I haven't seen any resource guarding or aggression of any kind. Millie is very, very affectionate; she loves to snuggle and give kisses. Millie would be a wonderful addition to any family.

I will bring Millie to the RAGOM picnic on September 22, so everyone will have a chance to meet this special girl.
