Add: One Dog

Well we know have a dog in our family. Yep you read right. To be honest it's still taking a little time for it to sink in with me as well. He's a five year old mix of golden retriever and Aussie sheep dog. His name is Tiki and he's got long, wiry, white hair. He's really nice and extremelly well trained which is cool. We got him yesterday when my folks saw a notice for a free dog somewhere I don't know where. We phoned up the owner and went to go and take a look. When we got there we all decided that he was perfect for the house. The owner must have thought that we were coming to pick him up and bring him home with us even though we were just going to have a look. However, we decided that it would be easier for her if we took Tiki at that moment because it was obvious she was attached to him and didn't want to see him go even though she had to(she was an old woman and she couldn't keep up with Tiki anymore) so we loaded him up and took him home with us.

Tiki's already gotten used to the house. That surprised me since I thought that he'd mope around for a few days before getting used to us but he seemed fine with us as a new family after an hour or so. The only sticking point is that my cat is not happy about the whole thing. We're going to try to wean her to Tiki but it's obvious that it's going to take a lot of work to get used to the fact that we now have a dog. She's been hiding all day so far(she came out of hiding for a bit yesterday) and there's not really much we can do except wait for her to come out of hiding. So yeah the next time you come to my house expect to meet a dog.
