New puppy!

Not ours though! No way am I that crazy. Our friends got an 8 week old German Shepherd puppy a few days ago, and today they had to be away from home all day and asked if he could come stay with us so he wouldn't be so lonely.

Isn't he cute?

We took him outside to play for a bit. A tired dog is a good dog, so they say.

I think we broke him.
He didn't know which way to go. Chase Bailey? Chase Katie? Stay with me? It was pretty funny. He was so worn out.

Bailey couldn't figure out why he was yapping at her so much, and the cats were not impressed. They hid until long after he went home.
Here's what my lap looks like tonight.

Mooch doesn't snuggle with me very often (I think she's afraid I'll put her outside), but Remy is a permanent fixture these days. If I'm sitting down, he wants to be on me. He had to go to the vet last week because he had a bladder blockage, and they kept him for 2 days. I'm not sure if it was just traumatic for him, or if he thought he'd been abandoned again, but he will hardly let me leave his sight. Not that I mind too much, he's a good lap warmer and he doesn't complain when I need to shift positions.
