He's a Trip...

I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our home...

This is Trip... formally known as Tyler. We got him yesterday at the Preble County Humane Society. He's a one year old, Shepherd Mix... though we're not sure that's exactly what he is. He's been at the shelter since June and was adopted once and brought back. We're hoping we can give him an amazing life!

The Pork Festival Parade was this weekend and Jus and I decided to get out and meet our neighbors and enjoy the parade. There were bands from all over, men dressed up like pigs, local businesses and lots of candy.... there was also a parade of dogs from the local animal shelter.

We've been wanting a dog for a very long time and decided we would go on Sunday to "see" what they had. We were looking for a dog that was a medium build, not a puppy but not older than two, good with cats, and wasn't too hyper. There were so many dogs. We actually walked right by "Tyler" trying to avoid an aggressive White Lab. We made another loop around and there he was. He didn't bark, he didn't get overly excited, he just sat there wagging his tail. We knew we had to get him out of the cage and in a playroom. Once we got in the room, Jus petted him all over and in return got lots of kisses. He wasn't didn't get pee all over or jump up and down... he just seemed grateful that somebody was there to love him. He stole our hearts instanty.

He's now adjusting to a new life in our house. He's very curious, especially trying to figure out the cats. They do not care for him, but, in time, I'm sure they will all be friends.
