Hi everyone! I know I've been extremely absent here lately, but I'm in my last semester of grad school (Yay!) and that and work have kept me busy.
Anyway, we have a new addition to the family. My husband has wanted an Italian Greyhound forever (they're his favorite breed). His mom rescues animals for an animal rescue group and last week she convinced a guy who kept his IG tied to a pole outside all day,every day (
), to sell him to her at a bargain price. Then she called and told us that she had an 8-month-old IG and we were sold; it was love at first sight.
We've been very cautious as to how we'd introduce Dooley (we named him after legendary UGA athletic director Vince Dooley) to the girls. We've done it gradually (much in the same way I introduced Cosette to Eponine) and today we brought him over for a little while and all three animals were in the same room and CALM! So it looks like he's going to be fine with the kitties and vice-versa.
Dooley gets neutered on Friday and then will be coming home to live with us permanently this weekend. Until then, here are our first pictures of Dooley, taken at my mother-in-law's house this weekend. Enjoy!
Hanging out with Milly, a fellow rescue dog and his new best friend
Snuggling up to his rescuer, my m-i-l
Gotta love that face!
I like this silhouette
Playing peek-a-boo
This was my first time really holding him and he just conked out!
