what"s gotcha week, for those of us over the pond ??

Usually, it's Gotcha Day. Slang for "Got you". Most rescue owners do not know their dogs date of birth, so they celebrate the day they brought their dog home and call it "Gotcha Day". I call it "Gotcha Week" with Rita because she came here with my brother for a few days and he did give her to us then, but I didn't feel she was really ours until he left her here and went home.

I would post pics, but my camera got chewed by the puppy. It's barely working now. Lil snot crawled up on my desk and stole it while I was in another room doing laundry. I didn't think she could get up there, so I didn't worry about it. Silly me. I underestimated an untrained Pit Bull. D'oh!

How about the first pic I took the day she became ours?

And my most recent picture. Within the last 3 weeks, anyway. Allergies are so hard on her. She's lost a lot of fur and you can tell. She's also gained some weight from her meds.
