We have a new addition. Another dog. Couldn't have gotten it at the worst time :roll: , but it wasn't my idea. Wanna hear the story? No? Too bad.

About two weeks ago, my wife goes out with some friends to a bar. I was at home watching the ninja's. They were already in bed, it was late, and I was playin some Socom. I get a phone call from my half drunk wife:

"Hello?" I say.

*semi slurred speech* "Honey, there's a realy cute puppy here that the bar tender is trying to get rid of, she's sooooo cute!"

"So?"

"I want her, she's free and soooo cute!"

"We already have a dog, we don't need another dog, especially not right now! We're moving soon! What the f***, are you out of your mind?"

"I'm taking her!"

"No, you're not. No."

"Whatever, I'll see you later."

So, she stayed the night at her friends house that night, and the next morning I get a call from her:

"I have the puppy..."

"No you don't, don't f*** with me like that." I really didn't believe her.

"Yes, I do have the puppy, she's really cuUUuute!"

"Quit joking around, you didn't get her, you know we don't want or need another dog."

Long story short, she said she wouldn't hang up until I said it was ok. So, I said "ok" (I really wanted to just get off the phone). She came home, and there it was. I couldn't believe it. I thought (more like, hoped) she was joking. But she wasn't.

Anyways, that Thursday, we came to the decision to give her back (the owner said if we changed our mind to give her back). So, Thursday night, my wife tok her back. Free at last... not so fast...

The next day I call her at home from Eugene (2 hours away) just to check in.

"I went back to get the puppy." she said.

"What? Are you serious?!"

"Yes! I was up crying last night," (I'm a real sound sleeper, so I didn't hear her :cry: ) "and I was worried that she wouldn't go to a good home, or that the bar tender would hurt her.. blah blah blah" is all I heard from there on out :roll:

"Whatever. I'll see you tonight"

So, here we are, with a 10 week old puppy, and now everyone (including myself) is getting attached. We're potty training her, and we even named her last night, Grace. My wife took her to the vet, and got all her shots. We're not even sure what kind of dog she is. There is definatley a lot of black (or chocolate) lab, and possibly some *gulp* pit-bull. She's pretty cute, I must admit, and is very playful. She's pretty smart, already responding to her name after only a day, and usually barks or cries if she needs to go out in the middle of the night (in fact, I've taken her outside 3 times since I started writing this blog). She also gets along well with my other dog, Allie (3 years old now). She has crossed the line on occassion with Allie, but Allie puts her right into her place. Anyways, here's her picture...

In other news, we're having our house appraised on Monday, then we make an offer on this house. Click on the picture and you'll see more pictures of it. Wish us luck.

Thanks,
