No! Not a baby, (fortunately LatteGirl’s obsession with a sibling has waned) … after nearly three months of waiting lists, and interviews, and follow ups to make sure we are suitable, we finally have… a new dog, “Jason” a 5 year old Basset Hound we adopted from the Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue.
It may not be a sibling, but LatteGirl is certainly happy with the new addition to the family. And me, being the bleeding heart liberal that I am, I am more than thrilled that we could rescue a dog, and not help support a puppy mill. Since Jack has taken to following close on TheWife’s heels at all times, she has the most adjusting to do (but she loves him anyway). Sweetie, our other dog, has not seemed to make her her mind yet. They are not fighting, but she seems (probably a bit natuarally) a bit jealous. She has however, also picked up her activity level since Jack has arrived.
Yay – he’s finally arrived – welcome, Jack and just take a look at how happy you’ve made your human sibling!
I cannot possibly show this to my sigOth who, believe it or not, with me 8 months pregnant, is pushing to get a second dog! I will happily live vicariously through you however – he seems like a great addition to the family.
Thanks for the blogroll mention by the way. Delighted to meet you!
So glad Latte Girl now has a furry sibling and also glad that you have done NOTHING to support those horrid inbreeding puppy farms. Thank you for stopping by my blog to leave your congratulations!
Basset Hound’s are cool! They always remind me of old people for some weird reason.
Congrats on the new addition – they look like best buds already!
YAY! I love having dogs – I never had them growing up (my hubby did) and now I have 2 springers. One is named Jack, by the way! We got Maggie (our first pup) when we got married, and a year later we started having babies. Jack arrived 1.5 years ago, and now Maggie and Jack are best buds, although there is the normal dominance issues. I’m sure your pups will get along great in a while.
And I dig the whole “kids with dogs” thing as well. Dogs make wonderful additions to the family. Your Jack looks adorable! Congrats!
Arooooo!!! (Ok, maybe bassets don’t howl. Was it a beagle perhaps? I used to live next to one that was nonstop with the “aroooooOOOooOOOo.”)
Anyways – he’s found his “person.” It just happens to be your wife. Heh heh… She’s gonna love that. Instant feet warmer any time she wants one! (And even when she doesn’t. Tee hee..)
Enjoy! I’m sure Latte Girl is in heaven.
Aww, what a cutie he is and I’m glad no puppy mills benefited from your new arrival. Looks like Jack and LatteGirl have
hit it off quite well.
