It's a dog update.
I posted a picture of Yuki last week, but didn't really give any details on who he is. He belongs to our friend Monica who is currently staying with my sis
genevra & her family. Since they've already got two six-year-olds, a dog, and two cats in that house an extra puppy was a little more than sis could handle so Rick & I took him in. So Yuki is temporary, but we don't know exactly how long. Probably about a month or so.
Yuki is 7 months old, but is really well behaved. He's housebroken and hasn't had any accidents. When he's full size he'll only be about 25 pounds. He's a really good pup.
Lump, however, is not a fan. She's adapting fairly well. We've got a baby gate up to keep him out of the back of the house so the bedroom & bathroom are still her territory. She also knows that if he's in his crate he can't come near her. She's a little upset, but not nearly as bad as we expected.
Yesterday we took Yuki over toromeoa & pinkshaya's house and he got to run around the backyard with Ripley for hours & hours. I tried to take pictures but most of them look like this:
Those were two tired puppies last night!

We adopted a cat from the rescue people and specifically wanted one that was comfortable with dogs. I don't have a picture other than my icon, but the little guy we got not only loves the dog, he'll sit by the door and waits for him to finish his business!
What a pair they make... a Newfie and a little black cat.

We've had the cat for 10 years now, so we have to let her have some say in the matter. Poor thing was really loving being an only child after we lost our other cat this spring, so merely tolerating the dog is more than we ever expected from her.
It's fun having a dog. It's also nice knowing it's not permanent. It's one thing to be walking him in this perfect weather, it will be another thing altogether to have to do it in January!
