    I'm not a cat person either but you guys have the most bea-utiful cats!

    Today Zeus and I took a visit to the humane society to look for a brother for him. We met a wonderul spitz mix which they have named buddy (2). Here's a website link:

    He's got red hair like my son! I'm hesitant to get him without my son meeting him but he's not back unitl next week and I don't want to lose this older guy. He's a bit smaller than Zeus, so maybe 30 pounds which is perfect. I would have prefered the shepard!

    Guess we'll see. I'll keep you posted....

    Shiloh survived his first obedience class. He was terrified to go in the door, but he settled down after he got in and we sat down. I learned alot and he got to practice some of the things that he knows, or at least the things that I know he knows. There's probably alot more that he knows that I'll never know.

    That's neat! Just wait until he gets groomed and he'll look like a million bucks. Hope he wins a one way ticket home to your family.

    I just looked again--there's a german shepherd boy named Tank there. Oh, why did I look??

    Congrats on your new baby!

    That "Lucky" on the adoption website sure looks like a basenjii mix to me:

    Thanks guys. I talked to my son and told him about the dog (he's visiting his dad for the week). He started hollering he was gonna call him Batman We'll see about that.

    You know, for a little no-kill shelter they have the best dogs there. I don't even live in that county anymore but I would go there for a pet any day. And I'm still using my vet there - I also find that hard to change.

    Off to make him a grooming appointment - I've never had a dog professionally groomed before!

    I renamed my dog from Shadow to Shiloh; he probably didn't even notice the change. My mom fostered a dog that she called Honey Lamb, and the adopter renamed her Cunningham. Again, I bet the dog hardly noticed.

    I've been told that dogs pick up new names very easily, even names that don't sound like their old names. Your son should name him whatever he wants. Congratulations!
