I said
in my last blog that I was getting a sister but I had to wait until she got her
heartworms treated and she wasn’t sick anymore.
Well, she got all of her shots and she is now resting so she can come
and live with us soon.
Here is a picture of her. She is kind of cute, but I am still cuter.
Bringing
a new dog into our house is a big deal.
We never met Dixie, that’s what Mom named her, but we are pretty sure
she will fit right in. First of all, I
am a very friendly dog. I haven’t met a
dog I didn’t like (except for that one dog at dog park and he started it),
anyway, I get along with all the dogs at day care and when other dogs come to
my house or I go to their houses, we get along fine. I don’t mind sharing my
toys either. Dixie is living with two
other dogs now and she is happy and friendly.
She knew right away that she wasn’t the Big Sister in that house so I’m
sure she’ll know that I’m the Big Sister here and we’ll get along fine.
I’m looking forward to having someone to play
with all the time. I’ve mentioned before
that humans are okay to play with but they get tired fast and they don’t run
very good. Mom thought Dixie would be a
good second dog because she is close to my age and size and has an easy going temperament. She also has a high energy level like
me. Mom likes that because we can tire
each other out. Everyone knows a tired
dog is a good dog.
Mom is
getting our house ready for her. We’re
both going to have our own food and water dishes and our own crates so we can
have a place to go that is all our own or when Mom and Dad both have to leave
us alone. If we are in our own crates we
can’t get into any trouble.
Getting
a second dog is a big step and we are doing everything we can to make sure it
is not stressful for Dixie or me (or Mom and Dad). I can’t wait to show her all my tricks like
what is the best way to beg for cookies and how to play inside the door/outside
the door. It is going to be so fun.
If you live in a two dog house (or more) let me know. Tell me what you did to make it a nice place for everyone to live.

P.S. Shameless self promotion - I think I'll get her one of our My Own Dog Cookie Tin Gift Baskets so I don't have to share my cookies with her...
