Phil, that looks like wonderful, arid country. Someday I hope to give it a try. I just hope I don't run out of somedays.
Your new pup sounds like a real keeper. I've had two that were ready "right out of the box," but none to the degree of your pup. Take good care of her. She's "livin' with the right boy," as my Pop would say of our dogs.
