Meet Royal

I am so giddy. My new dog is sleeping downstairs in his crate as I type this. I found him at the Humane Society today and fell in love... he's a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mix. He has been introduced to the cat (while on a leash) and was curious, but not aggressive.

Cleo is FREAKED out. I feel bad for her. She continues to stand at the top of the stairs to make sure that the dog is still in the crate and has not escaped.

I know it's not the right thing to say but I am just in love with Royal already. He has been affectionate and cuddly with me since I met him- and very calm. I took him to PetSmart to get some quick supplies this evening and he stayed right with me- I had strangers tell me how well-behaved and polite my dog was. (I wish I could take the credit!) So far, so good!

More dog updates later... I am exhausted.
