I Am Such a Sucker

We got a call Tuesday from the animal shelter that MacGregor came from- they have a little girl dog that looks like him and is very sweet. I tried to put it out of my mind.....but I caved and Kate and I looked at her on Wednesday. Loved her. We are all going in a few minutes with MacGregor and see how they do together, and if all goes well (and I'm sure it will), I will have gone from no dogs to 2 dogs in a mere month. :eek:

I'll post pics later. She is very girlie. We are working on a name- the shelter had named MacGregor, which we didn't change because our last name is Scottish. We are trying to find a good Scottish girl name!

Geez, there is really something seriously wrong with me lately!

Good for you! Nothing wrong there! That's how we have 3 dogs and 5 cats so far. We would probably have more but the vet bills can be so high.

Nothing wrong with you!!!! You have a kind and giving nature. We need more jdarg's in this world. I hope it's love at first sight :wub:! We had a sweet little Bonny that we lost last year. Bonny and MacGregor has a nice ring ehhh?

Let us know how it goes!

You could call her Lassie. (I know, I know.)
Or Bonnie. :)

I am a sucker, too. My husband is not thrilled about it but we seem to have taken on a new kitten, not sure of its age, somewhat of a stray, the neighbors have been feeding it but they already have a new baby and two goats and a dog.
We already have an ancient cat and two large dogs, ourselves. Ah well.

She is home and I am beat! Her name is Fiona. She and MacGregor have finally settled down- even took a little nap awhile ago. Now she is half standing and half on my lap!

I don't think she is housebroken or definitely not spayed. She had been tied to a tree in a rednecky county south of Louisville, then was "librerated" and ended up at the shelter here. She knows how to sit and shake, but is a garbage scrounger, counter jumper, and is terrified by the brush.

Gotta go- she just peed in the front hall. Clean up on aisle one! She gets a few free passes today, but tomorrow starts doggy boot camp!

jdarg, you have a heart of gold and you will be amply rewarded! My sister and her family took in a pug that answered to much the same description of Fiona. It took them almost a year to get Archie (he came pre-named) up to speed and she nearly tore her hair out a dozen times, but was it evvvvver worth it. Archie is a darling of a dog and so will Fiona be. :wub:

Here is Miss Fiona- maybe- I can't tell if we got the pic posted or not :idontno:

A few goofy dog pics are in my photo album.

Time to eat the leftovers- I'll start with the wine!

I'm sure Fiona will graduate with honors from puppy boot camp. She's a keeper!

How do you turn away a kitten? Impossible!

I am really intrigued by the goats!

Fiona is adorable. But I wish you (or someone) would name their female pet "Zelda." I good southern name I've always tho't would be great for a pet.

And my darling dog, Rudy (the b & w), is in the dog-house, so to speak. We came home from the in-laws last night, and he had ripped up the carpet; shredded it actually. We had put both dogs in the basement, with water, beds, toys, etc. It's not as bad as it sounds - - that's a safe place for them when we're gone for a long while. Well, Rudy was up at the top of the stairs by the door and must've started "digging" under the door & started pulling long strips of the berber. He dug all the down thru the padding to the wood floor. My husband about had a stroke!! (John was disinterested, fast asleep on his bean-bag.) This is the 1st time Rudy has ever done anything like this since he was a little puppy! Now we have to get the stairs and the whole room re-carpeted because it ripped all the way out into the family room!

You have ESPN!!! Zelda was a name we talked about! Along with Kiki (so she would be Kiki D), Beatrix (Mr. MacGregor), and Tiki Room, which was Kate's Disney version of Kiki.

Oh my, have I ever been there! Still have a hole in the carpet on the stairs! Black lab.....need i say more? :blink:

Jdarg: Fiona is precious! Good for you! She'll be a good daughter when she finishes boot camp. :biggrin:
