Well, we said we were going to do it, and we've done it. We visited Anti-Cruelty this afternoon and came home with a dog. We rechristened her Carly; we didn't really like her old name, and she apparently wasn't really answering to it anyway.
She's a sweet dog, loves to have her belly rubbed, barely ever barks. She likes humans, really doesn't like cats, and was having some difficulties with other dogs at the shelter. When we took her to the pet store nearby to pick up food and other necessities, however, she had no trouble with the other dogs, just a lot of curious sniffing. We'll have to see how she does with Buster, Cyrus, and Princess (the other three dogs in our building) as time goes on. For now, though, we're making each other quite happy.
carly, eh? so is this dog named in honor of the illustrious carly simon, my idol?...
