Bet you can't adopt just one!

While I love Itty to bits, I've always wanted a bigger dog as well, one to run/hike/bike/whatever with. Itty is just too old and too small to tag along on a lot of my adventures. While I hadn't exactly planned on getting one just yet, the draw of the little black puppy I met at the rescue was strong.

I ended up convincing my dad to come meet him, and the whole family went back to the rescue to check him out. By this point my plan was still to get mom and dad to adopt him. While he was a big hit, after a couple days of deliberation the answer was still no.

I wasn't having that though, and presented a plan to my parents to make sure I came to play with, excercise, train, and care for Dozer while he was living with them, and began looking for a new place where I could have him AND Itty. In response to my incessant pestering, the OK was given for me to adopt him and keep him in Coon Rapids for now. Felix would appreciate the playmate, and I got my little black buddy.

Dozer at almost 8 months. He's a big boy now!

I picked up Dozer on the way to my parents with Itty, and he promptly thanked me for adopting him by peeing in the back of my car on the way home. Luckily, I'd planned for this and had a thick blanket down in the back of the car, but still!

All three dogs together for the first time

Now I'm in for a real adventure. With all three dogs home at my parent's, it can be a real mad house. In late September Ryan and I will move to a new place and Dozer and Itty will go with me...
