I can't believe we got a dog. I was driving by my neighbor's house the other day and saw 2 little black puppies romping in his yard. I stopped and remarked on their cuteness and my neighbor said, "You want one?" I thought about it for a few hours and decided to take the plunge. I took Mal over there and he picked the female. He named her Sophie and has taken charge of the training duties. Her birthday is probably April 26. Her mother is a registered Boykin Spaniel--the official state dog of South Carolina! My neighbor's have an electric fence which keeps the Boykin in...but it doesn't keep the strays out. They think the father is a terrier of some sort, but they aren't sure. Sophie looks like a tiny version of a lab, although she does have a sweet spaniel face. She's really good natured and smart and seems to be fitting in with our insanity quite nicely. The cats, Karl and Wally, are highly annoyed, but they seem resigned to the fact that Sophie is here to stay. I'll be SO glad when she is potty trained. We didn't have this issue with the cats. I think once she has figured out the toileting routine we'll have to pull up the carpet and burn it. Actually, she isn't doing too badly...for a puppy.

ah, yes, puppies are so darn cute, but then there is that potty training thing, that is why I have a ferret, don't have to walk him, he uses the litter box like a cat, I'm not allergic to him, and I don't have to take him out in -50 degree weather to go to the bathroom :P.
