Today was a busy morning. I was doing some computer work most of morning the rushed to pick up Xavier from kindergarten. He was planning to have a BBQ with his friends so we set up the BBQ and waited for his friends. While we waited we dug up some rocks around the yard looking for dinosaur bones.
When mom returned home we decided to go look at pets we Xavier protested that he wanted a rabbit, a hamster, a cat, and a dog. So we set off to a local pet store. To be honest I don’t really enjoy the pet stores I would much rather save a pet from the rescue shelter. Unfortunately Odate does not have one. We called the closest one in Akita city the week before but there were no compatible dogs our 6-year-old pug. He is afraid of other dogs so…
Relaxing where the puppy can't get me up on the bench!
Anyway at the local pet shop we found a lab puppy. We brought our pug with us and let them meet face to face. The pug was of course scared out of his wits with his tail between his legs. But he didn’t attack, or growl at the puppy so we figured it should be OK in the future. We decided to give the lab puppy a home. So after filling out some papers we got the dogs into the truck then headed to Homemac for some new dog supplies.
Chasing a pug is tough work!
At home everyone settled in. The puppy searched the house. The pug ran around trying to stay at least 1 meter from the puppy. And everyone enjoyed the rest of the afternoon trying to decided on a name for the new puppy. We finally settled on “Surf”…although X preferred “blue beard” or “bicycle.” Before dinner we took the dogs for a walk then at home they both had a bath together. Everyone is tired now and sleeping…I think I will do the same!
Bedtime after my bath!
