Guess who's joined the craziness!

On Tuesday, we mentioned that we have been very busy a round here with some news to share. From the e-mail questions we got since that post, no, we are not moving again - at least, as far as I know. Please don't put any ideas in Jeff's head!

We do, however, have a new addition to the household - meet Dora!

We got a call about this sweet girl late Friday night - she was owner surrendered to a kill shelter over in Raleigh, NC. A friend who works for a foster organization north of us let us know of her situation and we drove up an hour Saturday morning to see her - after walking in and seeing her happy self, we knew instantly she was going to be coming back home with us! Sadly, we don't have any other information on her, other than she's about 2 or 3 years old. Our vet saw her Monday morning and said she looked great, but suggested we do around of blood work just to make sure there wasn't an underlying issue as to why she was given up.

She did come with silvery painted toe nails, so we assume she was possibly in a home with children that no longer could take care of her (either not enough money or time) or she has some medical condition. We've found her temperament pretty spot on with Gus's - laid back, not a barker, pretty playful and such a sweetheart! She hasn't shown any aggression towards other people, the random dog during our walks or even with her food. Now, of course, the question is, what does this dude think of her?

He has taken quite an interest in her! Playing around with friendly chasing parties and we've even seen an occasional snuggle on the couch or outside in the grass. We didn't know how he would react since he's been by himself for some time now, but apparently we had nothing to worry about! Although, I think he is trying to make up for lost time with the ladies, if you know what I mean... and yes, both of them are fixed.

Since it has been a few years since we've had two dogs in the house, it's taking a bit of time to get into that routine again. Life sure is hopping around here now! For whatever reason she was given up, Jeff and I are happy that we found her and can give her a safe, loving home to spend the rest of her life in. Welcome to your forever home, Dora!
