Stafford...

Last Thursday, while Patrick was on the phone with his mom, I got the idea to look up the animal shelters website and look at the dogs that they currently had. Patrick and I had talked about getting a second dog at some point we just had not decided when. We wanted a Friend for Herschel. We knew we would want a dog that would be smaller than Herschel or the same size at the most. We also knew we wanted to get a puppy so that the dog would be younger than Herschel.

Well, I just happened to find a dog that I liked a lot that seemed to fit our qualifications. After a little while I had talked myself out of getting the dog and kind of forgot about it. Until the next day. I kept thinking about the dog and decided to so see him in person to see what I thought. Well how could you say no to this face? especially when he met all of our qualifications?

So I called Patrick and he brought Herschel to the shelter to met Stafford and to see if we thought they would get along at home. Herschel was not sure at first, but he has come to like Stafford more each day. We brought Stafford home that night! We are not sure what kind of dog he is maybe a chihuahua and jack russel terrier mix?

Sharing the chair has been a big step for Herschel.

Here is Herschel and Stafford playing in the back yard on about day 3.

I'm sure you will learn more about Stafford later but for now that is really all I have time for. I have worked on this post 3 different times in trying to get it done. I am in the midst of my busiest week this summer!
