So we’ve been spending a lot more time with Roy and Brian’s new dog Tagan (sp?) lately. We’re both ready to rush out and buy a border collie today, but we’re tying to be practical, do our research, and evaluate our habits to see if we can really handle another addition to the family. As a consequence, Roy is getting a lot more attention, and he’s responding well to it. He’s only been around other dogs a few times in his life, and we’ve rarely taken him on walks both because we’re lazy and he’s always seemed happiest when he’s gnawing on a peanut butter chewie and sitting in a lap. That’s changing though. We’re committed to exercising the little (fat) guy a lot more and trying to train him.
I hope I’m writing part two of this post in a few weeks to report we have a new dog and a happy well-exercised poodle.
UPDATE – We brought Finnie home Sunday (June 1st) . She’s an Australian Shepherd. Aside from losing a bit of sleep the past few nights, we’re have a wonderful time with her. She’s learning fast, and she’s growing like a weed!
