the dog read the blog

and that actually rhymes.

Yes, I think Steve read my blog... as soon as I posted that we are going to keep him, he turned into this cute little monster.
House training is going down the drain and at this point he is teaching us how to properly clean up behind him. He cries (?) at night, so that Scot has to sleep with him on the couch. I caught him chewing on my lens caps (my fault for leaving them on the floor), my tripod, Jake's shoes, cords, toys, etc... He discovered the couch and we are having a hard time to keep him off. He constantly looks for something to eat and totally goes insane when he hears rattling in the kitchen.
This is really a bad timing with me back at school...

He is Keeper

Well, we decided to keep Stevie! We made it official today by getting him a new collar, tag and leash. He is a very good dog and really cute. I think we all fell in love with him including Bailey.

Funny how the dynamics change in the house with a new dog. Miss Bailey being once the terror of the neighborhood and doing whatever she wanted now walks heel without a leash (!!!), listens, stays around us and doesn't run off...

This brings our zoo back to 7 after Speedy the Snail died :(

So, now the next step is to get some meat on Stevie and cut his manlihood off... ouch!

meet Steve

Scot went to a auction in Shipshewana, Indiana and came back yesterday with Steve.

This is how Scot tells the story of how he found Steve:

After driving 5 hours through the night Scot arrived in Shipshewana at about 2 am, so he parked his car in this HUGE parking lot away from all the other cars. It was a windy, rainy and foggy night. He closed his eyes when ALL OF THE SUDDEN he heared this scratching at the car door. He opened the door and Steve jumps right into the car and curled up into his lap. The poor dog must have been running for days, because he slept all day long in the car and his paws where all red.

So, of course he had to bring him home, even though we are not ready for another dog... I am starting school in a few days again, Bailey is getting fatter and fatter, our neighbors already hate us because of Bailey and anyways I wanted a big dog. A dog that could protect us, a dog that will listen, a dog that is already house trained and a dog that is NOT a Beagle. Nothing against Beagles, but we already have one and we love her, but she is not...uhmmm... all the above.

Steve is basically a skinny male version of Bailey. But then again a Hippo is skinny compared to Bailey... just kidding!




He is a cute dog, seems to be getting along with Miss Bailey and the Jakester. We think his one ear is deformed, probably the reason someone dumped him. I am guessing he is about 6 months old, but then again I am not an expert and this is just a guess.
So, we are going to keep him until we find him a new home. Anyone interested?



Jakey is of course in love with him and keeps telling me "I have two doggies" and hold 4 fingers up...
