Meet the newest addition: Scout (at least I think that's what we're calling her). That also means that we will be calling the cat, Jem. If you don't know what this means, read more!!!! Sorry, the English teacher in me escaped.
We adopted Scout on Thursday night from a rescue group here in Charlotte. She was living with her siblings and mom until we brought her home, so she was a little sad for the first few days. However, she is a fantastic dog! Yes, we have had a few accidents in the house, but that's to be expected. And yes, the first night was torture as we listened to her cry. And yes, the cat peed on my bed in protest.
BUT, she is great! We took her to the park yesterday for a long walk, and she doesn't even need a leash. She will stay right near us, and she doesn't run up to people or other dogs when they come by. She doesn't bark. She doesn't chew on everything. And she isn't needy. She just is.
We'll see if this all lasts. She might just come out of her depression and become a new pup.
And I already promised at least one friend that the next time I make an announcement about an addition to the family, it will be a human addition.
