    As some of you probably already know from Facebook, we have a new addition to the family. It’s a girl! She is a 3-month old Labrador/Border Collie that we adopted from the Eastern Montana Humane Society. At three months, she’s obviously not as well-behaved as Scooter was when we got him last year, but she’s picking things up quickly. It seems pretty amazing that we’ve only had her a week.

    Her name, as you might have guessed, is ‘Roo’ of Kanga & Roo fame from Winnie the Pooh. Watching her and Scooter interact has been quite fun, and they are certainly getting plenty of exercise too. We’ve had to give her a couple baths, as she has some sort of skin infection. When she comes out of the bath, her scent is masked by the shampoo, and Scooter always thinks there’s a new dog in the house. Eventually, her scent comes back, and he figures out that it was his sister all along.

    As always, there’s pictures in the gallery, and I’ve even uploaded a video for your enjoyment.

    It’s a boy! On Wednesday we adopted an eight month old puppy. He’s a lab-dachshund cross, and as cute as ever. He’s also amazingly well behaved. He doesn’t bark, even at other dogs that are barking their heads off. His only ‘weakness’ is that he loves to meet new people, so whenever we pass by someone outside, he alway tries to run towards them. Oh, and he ate a dead frozen bird the first time I took him for a walk. We tried giving him a potty mat just in case while we were gone. He didn’t potty, but he chewed the mat to shreds. He did find my slippers once too, but they escaped with no more damage than some puppy drool. Without further adieu, I give you Scooter:
