I can't believe how lucky I got, actually. I overheard a conversation a co-worker was having about a friend of hers having to get her dog put down because she couldn't take care of it anymore. I could not let that happen obviously. I don't know what people think, or even if they think at all. So I had some major convincing to do to my husband. We lost a dog to old age health issues back in the fall, and I told him I wouldn't pressure him to get another dog. But after I saw Frodo's picture all bets were off.
He ( the dog, not the husband) has been worked with a lot and is very well trained. He is 2 years old. He is not hyper, but has a lot of energy and needs to exercise and be involved in a family. We definitely are that. We are a herd actually, between teenagers, cats, guinea pigs, friends etc.
He is good with the cats, and my schedule allows me to be home enough to take care of his needs. On the first day I had him we went visiting, and on a walk, and to Tractor Supply Company and he was a very well behaved boy.
To my best guess, he is an Australian shepherd, border collie mix, but I am taking him to the vet today for shots and a checkup. He has a blue eye and a brown eye. He's a very handsome dog.
I'll post more on the bike later. I still don't know which I'm more excited about!
