with me going back to work i've been considering getting tatum a baby brother or baby sister but with her being such a baby herself, i'm just really not sure what i want to do. i've sort of been stalking the humane societies here in town (yes, i live in colorado so we have more than one humane society.) well yesterday i found laramie. and oh boy is he cute! he's 7 years old and he's a schnauzer mix. i called to get the details about him just to see if they knew if he was good with other dogs, is he good with kids. they said "he was picked up as a stray in missouri. he's not a bully breed so we don't test him with other dogs but what you can do is bring your dog and we can set up a meeting for the two to make sure they get along." well. i instantly emailed paul and he agreed, he was cute. and i LOVE schnauzers. i think they are so so freaking cute. as soon as i hung up the phone i smelled pee. i looked at tatum and she was under the desk. she would NEVER pee under there because that's her spot. i looked all over the office, in the attached bathroom, nothing. and then it hit me, when i was looking at laramie's picture she was digging to china on the futon and sometimes she does this berserk act right before she pees. sure enough! she peed on the futon and i realized maybe i, along with tatum, am not ready for a second dog. so we're looking into half day doggie day care a couple days a week. and good news bulletin, i went to look at laramie one more time today and he's gone! he's already been adopted. i knew he would be. he was cuter than anything. good luck in your new loving home laramie!then last night when we were going to bed i asked paul if he could let tatum out before he works out in the morning so that she doesn't whine the entire last hour of my slumber. he said he would BUT she licks him the whole time he's working out. anything she can get her tongue on, shins, ankles, and when he goes down on his elbows and knees to do his crunches she crawls under him and puts her feet up and tap dances on his chest while he's up and then licks him when he comes down. she LOVES her daddy! just look at her smile in this photo.

Probably a smart idea...give doggie day care a shot first, then evaluate!
Hi Elaine Angelo!!!!!!!!
Cheri' you can have my little black dog, babyace. he wont stop ringing the bells to go outside. im tired of him- you take him! just send me pictures and updates of him because i would miss him eventually
I just love looking at Tatum. I want a dog so bad. And she is so stinking cute.....you need more pics of her on your blog.
Dogs are a lot of work! I briefly considered a sibling for Thor.. but he's a real handful all by himself.
yeah two dogs is A LOT. sometimes it is too much
Dale and Eli wanted me to say that Doggie day care rocks! I still send them one day a week even though it's so darn expensive. It's good exercise for them, and they are always so excited to see their friends. The best part is they are dead tired when they get home and most of the next day, and as I like to say, a tired dog is a good dog, LOL! I hope Tatum likes it. She's a doll! But the peeing on the furniture thing is no good. Do you think she's just not good at letting you know she needs out or is she marking?
