Goldie

We got a new companion for BJ. She is 9 months old. They say she is a golden retriever/ lab mix. She is very sweet and a little skittish about new things. She is crate trained so that is a plus. I was a little upset we when we first brought her home because on her paperwork that they didn't show me but read to me it said she does not get along with cats and she was not housebroken both of which I specifically asked them about and they told be they didn't know about the cats and she was housebroken. We weren't too sure if we were going to be able to keep her because of out cat but it is working out. Luckily because everyone is already in love with her. I wasn't going to get another dog quite this soon but BJ was getting depressed with out a dog companion. He has always been a dog's dog. Even though Fear wasn't the greatest playmate he was still there with him. I decided to just keep an eye out for the right dog and figured when the time was right she would come to us.  The kids asked me to call the shelter and ask if they had any new dogs and in and when they told me they just had a golden retriever/ lab mix come in, I couldn't resist. THose are my favorite breeds especially the golden retriever. I still miss Shane and CJ was one of the best dogs I had. I was a little surprised when they brought her out because I was expecting more golden retriever looking but I am a sucker for floppy ears and the kids really liked her. We are still working out the kinks of a new dog but BJ is very happy again and Jessie's estactic to have a girl pet. She has more energy than BJ and I didn't think that was possible. I'll have to post more about her when we have had her longer and know more about her. Right now we are trying to figure out how big she will get so we can order her her own crate.
