Well, geez. It's been nearly a month and I haven't mentioned the new addition of a family member. :) Please welcome our new puppy dog! His name is Dio and he's part lab-retreiver, part Border Collie. He's amazingly sweet but extremely timid - especially around men. We adopted him through the Animal Services group here in Scotts Valley. He'd been given up for adoption the month prior and had been there for quite some time due to the fact that he was so afraid of people. We adopted him on Monday April 23rd after I spotted him on Saturday afternoon during a walk. He's the sweetest baby in the world and is getting very good at using an extremely large and cold nose to flop your hand on his head for a good petting. :)
Also the other thing we were not prepared for: HE LOVES THE POOL!!!! We're still unable to get a lot of pictures of him. He's extremely scared of people with things in their hands - even me still. But he's coming out of his shell slowly but surely.
We're going through the growing pains but overall, life is getting better. Lady loves her new companion and is no longer afraid to go riding in the car when she knows Dio is going along. Hopefully more pics soon.
awwwwww...sweet little dio. you guys must be so happy to have another one around. :)
ReplyDeletehe looks very cute! Can't wait to meet him :D I guess we know not to bring Ginger for a visit though, or you will have two dogs in the pool ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL. We'll work on that :D. It's halarious to watch. We want to get our next door neighbor's dog over too. :) Should be rather interesting.
ReplyDeleteHe's the sweetest baby in the world. He's very timid though. We think he's been beaten by a man at some point. He's very afraid of people in general, but is EXTREMELY terrified of men. :( It's sad. He runs from Marcus all the time. He's terrified if I try to take pictures of him too. :(
