Another Dog...Am I Crazy???





So last night David texts me from work and asks if I want a free dog to keep Zoie (our dog) company when we are not home. I said noooooooooo. Not practical for our life...going to Cedar City, staying in hotels, etc. Well...then he tells me this dog's plight...apparently when a girl he works with got married, she left the dog with her parents. Her dad decided he didn't want it and took the dog to the pound without telling her. Needless to say, when she found out she was very upset. She went to the pound and bought back her own dog. The problem is she is now married and has two dogs of her own so her husband doesn't want to keep this one, too...so she is trying to find him a good home. His name is Moby. He is a black shitzu that is about three years old. I went over and picked him up today, telling the kids that we were going to babysit him, when in actuality I just wanted to see how he would get along with Zoie. Well, Moby growled at Zoie for about a half an hour, but now he seems to have settled in, so it looks like we are keeping him. Am I crazy? (Don't answer that!) Kira is not satisfied with the name Moby. I told her that the dog has had that name for three years and she is probably not going to be able to get him to answer to another name. She has decided that his new name will be Frederick Moby Needles/Thompson, but we will call him "Moby" (except she doesn't...she calls him Frederick). Anyway...his disposition is similar to Zoie's, so they just lay around together like an old married couple.
