I mentioned yesterday there been a few changes since my last postings. Of course I know I'm forgetting many because this MS is crushing I already poor memory. A big change in some ways is that we (my wife) added a dog to our home. Tom is calling to Alaska for three years and we try to talk him into leaving at Atlas with us but he said no over and over. We knew we would miss him so we have been looking for a dog to add. We are pretty picky and one day we had a surprising offer. One of my wife's sisters had a chocolate lab who passed away from complications of a tumor. The people they had gotten from 12 years ago called and said a lady who had purchased a chocolate lab pop but not able to give it enough time each day and her job was changing so she would have to go overseas. He had often left the dog with the original kennel people and their change in job led her to ask them to find a suitable word she could get more attention. He called my wife's sister knowing it just lost their precious chocolate lab. Her sister and husband told them it was too soon to think about replacing the dog he lost but she told them my wife and I were interested. Long story short we added a one-year-old female chocolate lab to our home. We had hoped for a little older dog that you have to take what comes your way because it's hard to find a good dog. She has a lot of pop in her and she is a handful for my wife. Her name is Jordan and she can be a sweetest dog in the world the little troublemaker.
She weighs about 30 pounds less than Atlas. They get along pretty good when she can play forever and he gets a little tired of her energy but she still wants to wrestle and he cannot stop. She is the center of attention now and doesn't like to share very well. She wants to be the only one with us on the bed. She wrestles with him to believe leaves find somewhere quiet to sleep. The cats are a mystery to her and she chases them and they tease her Because They Have doors cat doors into a bedroom and the basement. She's trying to learn how to approach the cats run away even if she approaches them quietly. One of our cats is the little cuddly on and the other explorers but never shows any affection and probably never will. It is kind of funny because the dogs play around all day and when my wife comes home Jordan never stops moving. He is definitely my wife's puppy. Most nights she sleeps with her head on my ankle which I really like. All of these animals are quite entertaining. Not sure our Jordan will be when Atlas leaves with Tom in early July. I hope to be able to post more in the future. Thank you for reading.
