I Got a Neewww Dog....One that won't make me sick!!!

So, its been a while and I am feeling bloggy. Well not really but I thought I would blog anyway.

I got a dog! Its a big step for me because in Nov 06' I lost the doggy love of my life and I thought I wouldn't be able to bear to have another dog. Thankfully I was wrong.

His name is Brody (the new dog, try and stay with me!) I adopted him from the Carolina Boxer Rescue (http://cbr.homestead.com/) He is the most laid back dog there ever was....and sweet too! I drove down to see Pedro at the border and met his foster parents and he was wagging his nub of a tail like he was deliberately was trying to shake it loose. I had a good feeling the whole way through so we brought him home. He needed a bath and food and plenty of sweet kisses, he got all those and a warm bed to sleep in after his long ride from the border. It was a good Saturday.

Sunday the kid came home early and was completely leveled with all the kisses and doggy slobbering Brody could offer. Needless to say she too was happy!!!

Now the challenge is doggy visitation rights. My right hand man, who has never liked dogs prior, is now very much a proud doggy co-owner. Reading up on dogging health and behavior, toys, food and accessories. Its very sweet and its helpful to have someone with me so I won't feel guilty about having another dog in my house.

I talk about my Tristan all the time. I miss him in the most weird moments. He was the first friend I made in North Carolina and the best companion. So I don't feel like Brody is a replacement because no new dog could ever do that; I do fee like he is the best follow up dog anyone who has lost their best friend could ever hope for.

Go see my pics of my new little man at http://cbr.homestead.com/Brody.html and while you're there donate, adopt or just ogle at the sweet boxers they have on their site.
