It's official.....we are now a family of 3! No, I'm not pregnant....we adopted a dog! We got Nemo on Monday April 6th. We adopted him from and organization called Homeward Bound. He is part Corgi, part Terrier and possibly part Bassett Hound. He's just a short, stout guy with TONS of energy! He is 2-years-old, so not a puppy, which has actually made the transition a lot smoother. We had a rough time the first 48 hours just because we were getting used to him and him to us.
We took him to obedience school this morning and he was very distracted, but he did well. Bobby and I learned more than he did, I think! We went to Katie's K9. She's pretty famous in the animal world. There were 7 dogs there, and only 3 were his size or bigger. The other were small dogs. There was one beagle and he just had a rough time, kept whining, it was very distracting for him. But now we know what to do with him at home and that's very helpful. He doesn't like his kennel, but I think that is just something he has to get used to, since it's yet another new thing we're throwing at him. We actually brought his dog bed into our room while we took a nap after the obedience class and he did really well! We wanted him to get plenty of rest since he worked so hard and he tends to be restless in his kennel. I don't know if we'll let him sleep there all the time, since he didn't jump into our bed, but we'll just have to see what happens!
We love our little guy already and he hasn't even been here for a week! The adventure begins!
