Exciting News: New Fur Baby

I'm not sure how I convinced my husband that we should go to the animal shelter, but that's where we found ourselves this afternoon. Its been bothering him that my cats are so scared of him. At first it was only Merlin, but now Maggie Mae has gotten skittish around him also.

El Paso Animal Services is right next door to the Humane Society, so we went through each respectively. Mike was pretty quickly drawn to a boxer mix and I liked a dark colored German Shepard. The volunteers let us walk them around the building and go into the run, which is a fenced in grassy area where they can run and play. The boxer mix peed on the facing a lot, but was really sweet. The German Shepard was sweet, but wasn't dog friendly, so we decided he wouldn't be a good fit.

I regret not taking a picture of him, but we should be bringing home the boxer mix in a couple days! I hope it all works out. We have absolutely nothing prepared for him yet, so we will have to get some stuff and pay for another pet deposit if he gets along with the cats. Cross your fingers for us!

I'm just so excited.
