Maybelline Clementine

A couple of months ago, we had to put down my wife's ancient Yorkshire Terrier. My wife had mentioned on more than one occasion that we were not to get another dog with her passing, but for two months she'd been sending me adoption posts and random cute hound pics and memes. So, two weeks ago, on a whim of early Christmas spirit, we drove two hours down to Yellville, Arkansas, where I had found a six month old Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy that was available for adoption. Gluttons for punishment, we're now one loud but wonderfully loving skinny-ass puppy richer.

Her name is Maybell, pronounced mostly like Mabel, but spelled long for folksy effect. She's a hound that we picked up in small town Arkansas, so sounds about right

While she is definitely under weight in these pics, I can report that she is already filling in some from her new steady diet of quality dog food. She's absolutely voracious in her feeding, like a crazed hyena, putting to shame our other food-driven rescue beagle/border collie mix, Maggie.

She probably won't get hunted, but she'll be well loved.
