Like JoJo and her love for her red squeaky ball.
But sometimes things change.
Our previous dog history includes chow chows (furry, insecure, standoffish but lovable fluffy creatures),
collies (furry, trash-and-worse eatin, huge, sweetheart yippers),
and JoJo (medium size, short-haired, perfection with the bark of a big dog and the poop of a smaller dog, plus, she retrieves balls)
Meet Sir Augusten, our new one-year-old puggle
Puggle: part pug, part beagle
(Did I know puggles are the most sought after designer breed?)
First small dog we've ever owned.
He is adorable, wiggly, tiny (10 lbs)
astoundingly good at leaping onto counters and standing on his hind feet
and very, very good at eliciting hissy fits from the kitties.
He has also almost made JoJo forget about chasing balls around the yard because she prefers to race about with him and he does his tiny best to keep up.
Let me warn you--if you happen to be at the pet store on Humane Society Adoption Saturday and you're not ready to adopt a new member into your family--just back away from the cages.
Do not fall for those big brown googlie eyes, that all-over-wiggling-because-you-love-me-already dance, and especially don't look when he reaches his paw through the bars as you begin to walk away.
Say hi to Gus.

Wait, did you just say leaping onto counters?
Nevertheless, he does look adorable, and the girls love the name. I'm looking forward to meeting him... as long as he doesn't pee on our stuff. :)
You have a most tender heart.
