A new addition to the family

Hi

Carol and I have a new addition to the family!! I added a couple of pictures so you could check out the new guy. Carol heard about him from some of the people she volunteers with at SADD (Saving Animals During Disasters). Apparently the dog belonged to a teen ager who wanted to look like Paris Hilton and carry a Chihuahua around with her everywhere. Well after 2 months she got tired of the dog and started locking it away in a crate all day and all night. The girl’s mother talked to someone in SADD and asked if anyone wanted the dog before she gave him to the pound. Carol heard about it and we decided it was time to have a new dog. The dog met all of our requirements. He was small so that he can travel with us when we fly, he was young enough to be trained by us (he is only 6 months old) and he was a dog that needed to be rescued.

We went over there today and fell in love with him in about 30 seconds! He is amazing! We had to take a 30 minute ferry ride to get to his house and on the way back he crawled into Carol’s lap and fell asleep. Even though Carol was driving, he is small enough that she could keep him while she drove.

He is a little hesitant around men since he hasn’t really had much contact with them so he has really bonded to Carol while I am still trying. We will get there though because I am home during the day while Carol works so I will be his only source of entertainment and he will either bond with me or die from boredom!!

Anyway we are really happy to be dog owners again even if we have to potty train him and get him used to sleeping with us. But its all good and we feel good about saving him from the pound.

His current name is Pablo but we are going to change that, we just haven’t come up with the right name just yet. If anyone has any suggestions, send them to us ok?

Thanks and

Peace and Love to everyone!

John and Carol and “Pablo”
