January can be summed up for us in one phrase - SECOND DOG!
We have been talking about getting an additional dog for a while, and decided that the time was right now that we are not only moved but settled into our new house. We knew we wanted to get a female dog and that we needed one that is submissive to get along with our grumpy, only child dog Smokey.We did some research on breeds, looked at lots of rescue groups and just couldn't decide what to do. I looked at a local rescue group's adoptables that a friend of mine works with and while looking at grown dogs (what we were planning to get), I showed a photo of a puppy to Kevin and we were like why not a puppy? Once we decided on an animal our process moved pretty fast -- we met her, including Smokey and adopted her within a weekend!
She is 3 months old, and we are not sure what breed she is but she's a sweetheart. trust me, she's also a challenge - she's a biter, and can get up on the table if we don't watch it. but we are loving having this little one (Smokey won't admit it but he likes her too). We named her Sadie.
We brought her home on MLK day, probably not the smartest idea to get her on a Monday night right before Kevin's semester starts. But we unexpectedly got to be at home with her for the next 2 full days due to very cold, icy conditions. The second semester in a row delayed due to weather (its becoming tradition), but it actually helped us to get some time with her and a couple of days to try to figure out our new routine with 2 dogs (3 weeks in we are still figuring it out)
