I had wanted a playmate for Tina for sometime, but just couldn't find one and had given up on the idea. Then out of the blue, the North Little Rock Animal Shelter Mobile Unit was in the parking lot after Granny and I had eaten at TGIF for lunch so we took a look. There were a couple of candidates, but this little guy was ready to go home immediately so we decided to adopt him. Got him home and introduced him to Tina--they started playing and have been inseparable so far--and it's been about 4 hours since we've been home. I think it's going to work out just great.
We got Tina from the Pulaski County Humane Society in early May, just a few weeks after losing Nico. She was a stray, a Corgi/Jack Russell Terrier mix, estimated age about a year (but she still looks and acts like a puppy). I had to wait a week until she was spayed before we could bring her home. I knew she would have a lot of energy, but she was getting on pretty well with Granny so she was adopted on the spot. The shelter had named her Tina, so we just kept the name. She gained a couple of pounds during the time we've had her, so she's now about 27 lbs. Beautiful long hair, very long stomach so has a hard time sitting in your lap which she does try to do. She also likes to lay under the raised foot rest on Granny's recliner--kind of a dangerous spot.

I can't live without a dog; there has been hardly a day in my entire life where there wasn't a dog in the family. (and I have very fond memories of each and every one of them)
