New addition, Dixie.


Some may say I am spur of the moment... I like to think of it as "you only live once." I've been debating a little about getting another dog to keep my current one (Rodeo) company. So I made a trip to the humane society yesterday to adopt this time. Rodeo came from a breeder and I have always wanted to adopt a dog anyway. I walk in and there are SOO many cute puppies!!! I made myself walk away, remember how much I really do not want to go through potty and puppy training again. I get into the back where the older dogs are and immediately fall in love with a little 4 year old brown lab mix. I ask to meet with her and find out she is the sweetest girl in the world! I brought Rodeo with me so he could meet his new brother/sister as well. I get him out of the car and both tails are wagging. It was a great meeting! Needless to say, I have a new dog now. I get home after buying her a new collar and crate to sleep in and she starts growling at Rodeo! Okay, did she really know what was going on at the humane society and play nice so I would take her? She is still a loving sweet dog to people, but has not yet warmed up to poor rodeo, who just wants to play!! I have been up most of the night letting them get used to each other...even though they have been sleeping most of the time!! We will see how the next week goes. I know it is going to take some time, but hopefully Rodeo and Dixie learn to love each other!
