For the longest time I have wanted a dog to which Lisa would reply no... Well a couple of weeks ago, Lisa heard from a co-worker that the humane society in New Ulm had Goldendoodles (nonshedding dogs) for $75 bucks.
That got her excited about the idea of a dog. So she called me, I of course said yes and we put the call into New Ulm, however they were out of the puppies already :(
So, for the past two weeks or so, Lisa has been looking up dogs on the net, trying to find one. Can't find a Goldendoodle for under $600 bucks so they were a no-go.
Last Saturday when we were at Lisa's cousin's house, he had three terriers, one of was a terrier/beagle mix (i've always wanted a beagle.). So Lisa found one in Hastings at a Rescue Shelter and we went up today to get our new buddy, Eddie.
Eddie is doing great so far...Went for a walk, has been searching the house and just trying to get acclimated to the new surroundings.
We love the pup, just wish we could have had a little more honesty from the gal we got him from. She told us that Eddie didn't shed much and that he was shedding now to get rid of his winter coat. We got home and gave him a bath and got a lot of hair off him and hopefully it's gone (or close too it). Nonetheless, we think we will have a happy, happy relationship with him. He is great on the leash, haven't heard him bark, and is just a mellow dog, which is a bonus since he's 18 months old.
So now it's time for me to jump in the shower so Lisa and I can watch Jon and Kate + 8...Damn show got me addicted.
That's it for now :)
