Well my husband knows me better than I know myself. We promised (foolishly?) the girls that we would get two new dogs (what?) after we were settled in and it just so happens that briguy also told the girls that after we finished our room painting projects that we would start seriously looking.
The girls had off of school today so I decided that we would go look (our plan was to find a standard schnauzer and a dachsund probably purebred) so I planned on going to a rescue shelter and meeting with an adoption agent and talking to them about what we were looking for and getting on a waiting list for when something came up. I then went online and found the local humane society and saw the many dogs and thought that we should just look to get an idea of what we might like. Well needless to say we adopted two dogs ( one appears to be a purebred dachsund and the other a black schnauzer/terrier mix). I am such a bleeding heart, there were probably a handful more that I wanted to take home with us. The girls were so good there and we may actually make a habit of going there and walking dogs for a family service project. They are so cute and get along so well. We spent the day taking them to the vet for a check and going to PetSmart and picking up needed supplies.
We named the dachsund Jaxin and he is so cuddly and calm. We named the terrier Luna. Big sis picked the name which was way better than the original name (Shadow=black). The plan was to have the dogs sleep in their rooms on the floor and not in there beds but guess what happened. Oh well guess I have to give on some things. Well kids go back to school tomorrow and I will be manning the fort, so to speak. No rest for the weary, I'm sure. Good times!
