In December we adopted a dog. He has taken up a quite a bit
of everyone’s time, and I think we have finally settled into a routine. His
name is Fred and we love him like there’s no tomorrow. He was 10 months old
when we first saw him at the SPCA. I was
worried he wouldn't get along with our dog Talula; really I was worried he
would be too rambunctious for her. But she showed us she can put him right in
his place. Unfortunately he wants to
play with her and she never really was a playful type, so he does end up
barking at her a lot. And then she snaps at him and he runs and gets really low
to the ground. But Fred is a real sweetheart, and he does love to cuddle.

We like to think that Fred is a happy dog now; we know it must be hard for a dog to suddenly be jerked from the home he's always known and taken to a place with a lot of other noisy animals. And then go home with someone else. It takes a while to adjust; just because what he's always known as his home may not have been the greatest it was his home. A dog's got to wonder. I'm just glad his previous family knew that they were not the best for him, so now he's got us and we've got him!
