And then there were 3 (dogs, not kids)

Rob told me a few weeks ago that he wanted another site dog, specifically, another chihuahua.
I was toying with the idea of getting another dog to do agility with, but, when I got into my masters program, I decided that another agility dog would have to wait.

So, we heard from a friend that there was a lovely little chihuahua at a local shelter.  Off we went on Friday to JUST LOOK.  We even had a pact to wait 24 hours after meeting him to decide.  Well, those of you who know us, know that this wasn't going to fly.

We went to the shelter, met him, walked him and yes, we did get back into the car.  Where we proceeded to drive for 10 minutes before we turned around and adopted him :)

Introducing Taz, the newest member of our family:




He was a stray so we don't know anything about him.  However, he LOVES kids.  As in, goes up to Loic and paws to be pet then curls up in his lap.  Loic totally adores him.  We think he is a young adult and he was neutered last week at the shelter.  He likes Tyler and Toby, but when he gets excited, he tries to 'have relations' with them....which doesn't go over too well.  However, he is learning that that isn't tolerated well here.  He also seems to be house trained (bonus!!).

While many people think we are nuts, we are used to having 3 dogs (we lived with Arthur for 5 years!) and Rob is happy to have a site dog again.   He fits in like we have always had him.

And yes, we named him, he didn't know his shelter name and we wanted another T name.  I voted for T. rex but was shot down -  although I agree, Taz is a good name for him.  Oh, he also ignores the rabbits but I would too if I were him, they are much bigger than he is.

Welcome to our crazy little family Taz!

  1. Welcome, Taz! Eddie, Mitzi and Shiloh say "Three dog families are the BEST!" Allie the cat does not agree :)
