A New Boy to Love


A few weeks ago, I came across a picture of a cute pooch on the website of one of the local shelters. It looked so much like our little Fozzie, who passed last year, that I had to stop and look again. Shortly thereafter, Paul and I went to "interview" him and applied to adopt him. He's been with us for about a week now and, although having a second dog is fraught with challenges, I think this one is going to be a keeper. His name is Jack and he seems to be a mix of Lab, Schnauzer and Mexican jumping bean.
Miss Molly was, at first, very upset that she'd have to share her kingdom, but she seems to be coming around. Already, I have found them side by side, looking out the window in the living room. No one will ever replace Foz but it's nice to have another someone to love.

In time, that new boy may have Molly licking the drippings off his sweet whiskers and lovingly pawing his almond eyes! What's not to love? While Molly knows Jack can't replace Foz, it's wonderful to have another canine companion around the house.
