......No its not what you all thought. We have a new puppy, or rather I should say Kelly has a new puppy. Recently adopted from the Humane Society of Broward County, http://www.humanebroward.com/ a Rottweiler mix that we have named Guinness. I will add photos tonight so you can all see just how gorgeous he is.
I thought we were crazy too, as we found him 2 days after the big move. But for all those like myself who thought we already had enough on our hands, let me tell you this. Two dogs are better than one. Of course the dogs in question probably play a huge part of that, but Guinness just happens to be the best calm natured even tempered puppy I have ever met.
He was just 8 weeks old when we got him and we have given him a week to show us his true colors....but he is still the same. Very different to our other dog Marley, who is 1 yr old this week and still a complete nut.
When Marley was a puppy Lily would put her rain boots on as soon as she walked through the door until she went to bed to stop him from biting her toes. None of that with Guinness he is just a big hunk of love that wants to be cuddled and petted.
Marley has taken so well to having another dog around, he knows he is top dog and has already taught the pup to use the doggy door in the patio. He kept pushing it with his nose to open, to show Guinness how it worked, then would walk through again and again and sit looking at Guinness until he did the same! Very cute to watch.
They are now the best of friends and spend all their time together. They even share chews as you will see when I post the pictures. They rough and tumble and are just so funny to watch together. Of course Kelly will still continue to take Marley to work on the Tugs and Guinness will become a house dog. Kel wanted to get a big dog to feel like Lily and I were more secure if he was away. Plus he never really got over having to put his dog, Snoopy, down last year - who was also the biggest most gentle Rottie you could ever wish to meet.
Lily is happy too as because we have given the new puppy Marley's cage to sleep in, Marley is now allowed to sleep at the end of her bed. Of course he thinks this is the best thing about having a new addition.
Oh, and the dogs aren't the only ones using the doggie door. Its Lily's favourite way to get to the back yard. But who can blame her I just wish I fit through it too :)
