Zzzzzzzzz

Happy New Year from a very sleepy household.
Introducing our new second dog... Price!
No... Bryce?
Brewster!
Elvis!
No...
Buster!
I think Buster is going to stay.

We found this little guy on Adopt-a-Pet Thanksgiving Day, he was listed as a "dead dog walking" from a shelter in Virginia... heartbreaking.  And his face just said it all.  This is why people gotta spay and neuter!  Anyway we talked it over, we hemmed and hawwed, we worried a lot, but I posted a request for transport on the wonderful, heroic Pilots n' Paws web site, and we found several pilots willing to deliver Price to us by New Year's.

He arrived this past Saturday night and he just sat as I hugged him in my lap for the 30 minute drive home.  We were careful to let Lucy and him approach each other from the side and sniff sniff sniff, not jump all over each other.  They seem to get along but are different personalities for sure.  Lucy is athletic and agile, often jumpy and reactive.  Buster is a rolly polly softie, he just likes to play with toys for a few minutes and then curl up and sleep.  It will take some time to see how they adjust but Lucy so far has gotten mellower in the first two days.  Just to be safe, they have a balance of time together and time apart.  But we all snuggle together first thing in the morning.
