Yesterday Neil and I got a puppy and he's PERFECT! We went to PAWS (the no-kill shelter that Neil and I have worked at in the past) and he was one of the first pups we saw when we first got there. After walking around for a bit we first met and played with his brother, Zed (pictured below)
While we were playing with Zed someone came in and told us that he had been adopted. So we decided to meet his sister and brother. At the shelter they called our little guy Zorro and we knew right away that he was perfect for us. He was so sweet and cute and loved sniffing everything in the room. What sold me on him was his little hound ears. They are huge and fly back when he runs!
We loaded up at Petsmart and then took him home. It was so fun to see him explore the apartment. He's so sweet and just wants to sit in your lap and cuddle!
We are still trying to pin down a name and have a list of a few:
1. Clark (because we live on Clark St.)
2. Quincy (because he was born in Quincy, IL)
3. Truman (Mizzou mascot)
I lean towards Clark, but have a hard time finalizing the name! I loved the name Dublin because not only is it the cutest dog name, but it was fun to abbreviate and shorten with Dub, Dubs, Dubbie, etc so I have a hard time pinning down a final name. Suggestions welcomed!
Out first night wasn't too terrible either! Neil took him out at around 10:30 and he was sawing logs (literally snoring) until about 2:00am and he started crying, so I slept next to his crate for a bit. Around 5:30 am he was up up so I took him outside and started the day. I think we need to do a little more research on crate training!
Many more adventures and stories to come!
