Welcome Uno!

We're a two-dog family again. This afternoon we took Annie to meet Uno at the Lawrence Humane Society. Uno, who has lived in a cage since February, was mostly interested in running free, following scents. Annie was mildly interested. We brought Uno home, stopping for a collar and leash on the way. She ate and drank ravenously, then ran around the garage smelling everything.

Uno is ensconced in the snake room with Annie as dog-sitter now. Dennis has taken her out twice without a leash and she comes back when he whistles. Annie seems to understand what is going on and is very patient, although she quickly taught Uno to stay out of her food bowl.


Best of all, perhaps, is that the Humane Society gave us a tennis ball toy that Uno loves to chase and, often, return to Dennis.

Oh, she is a brittany spaniel mix, two and a half years old. We're hoping the mix is beagle and that she will keep the rabbits out of our lettuce.

I know, we should change her name to Dos, but she already answers to Uno.

Uno-dos looks SO happy and Dennis looks as ornery as ever!
