I brought home another dog. My dogs are not amused. In fact, my senior shivers and whines. My other one cries a high pitch, excited but scared sound.
What has mommy done to you? 😢
In other news, the new puppy has no name. He needs a name.

Better to ask forgiveness,
Have you ever, knowingly, lied about your intentions, but for good reasons?
Yeah, me too. I’ve been watching the current struggle of our county’s animal shelter with such a heavy heart. I’ve been throwing down donations like crazy on animals on the review list to save them from euthanasia. I even went so far as to go in and put an adoption hold, knowing full well we don’t need a 6th dog again.
Ok, ok…6 is a lot. But hear me out! We had a family dog, I moved out and got a dog, a dog showed up on the family doorstep and we had 2 family dogs. I moved back in, rescued and sadly lost a puppy (sudden cardiac arrest). My sister picked up a pregnant stray from the roadside and we were able to find homes for all except mom and one of the puppies. I moved out and got a second dog. I moved back in for our grand total of 6 until the original family dog passed away.
And of course, I’m actively working on moving back out. If I could put money aside instead of giving it away. Which means that our huge number is only temporary, right?
Well, the adoption hold I had wasn’t for me. I was a backup and completely unnecessary it seems. And that’s good! I couldn’t be happier that a life was saved and I have the opportunity to do more. But, now I have TWO little faces on my radar and I didn’t tell anyone that I might just snatch up both instead of picking.
Our little secret for now?
