[QUOTE=jdarg]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![/QUOTE]

 :clap_1: 
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.

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!

OMG...FIONA is the cutest!!!  Look at that face...you had NO chance against that!!!!  Wishing you lots of snuggles and kisses, Fiona and family!  This is such a great holiday story!!!

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.

Welcome to Kitty and Fiona :clap_1:

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!
