Pepper, the mother pup found wandering in a Tennessee parking lot just before Christmas, has found her forever home, as we say in the animal rescue biz.

and this car is only half of it.

Meet Megan, a friend of the dog's rescuers and now, Pepper's BFF.

my girl

(They make a very cute couple, don't you think?)

For those coming late to the game, here is the first post about Pepper's arrival in Naperville in search of a home (not to mention a place to spend Christmas). Following a less-than-successful meet-up with a herd of Chicago Chihuahuas, Pepper appeared again here.

A few adoption inquiries came in to Naperville Now. Phone calls and emails were sent. Prayers were offered up.

And then, along came Megan.

Pepper, who complements Megan's decor, snuggled right into her new life. And then some.

She has toys, her own bed and babes from North Central College to take her on walks while her mistress is at work.

Pretty cushy.

quite literally

There are a few kinks to iron out yet. Afterall, Pepper (now known as Aussie) is barely 1 years old. And while she has been through more than most, this sweet and docile Staffy mix has managed to maintain her puppy ebullience and a certain dignity.

Naperville Now would like to check in with Aussie, from time to time, so down the road, I hope Megan will share a few snapshots and a story or two.

Happy beginnings, ladies. Thanks for sharing your story.
