On Wednesday, my wife and I did something totally inexplicable: we went to our local Humane Society and adopted another dog! We had decided that, while Lily and Jaz have bonded very well, we just felt that Lily (the dachshund/xolo mix) would benefit from having a playmate more her size. So, we adopted a Pomchi -- a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix.
Our new doggie, Buddy, weighs no more than 8 - 10 pounds. Breaking with our family tradition of dogs/female and cats/male, Buddy is a he. He's a cute little guy -- I'll try to post a picture or two at some point -- but he's very needy. He suffers from extreme separation anxiety. If one of us gets out of eye shot, he starts whimpering, crying and barking.
Socializing him to our family and routine will be a good project for me! Task #1 is to convince him that Dylan (the cat) is not a green one-eyed monster!
