Everyone, meet Fritz.
For the past few months I've felt like Ramses needed a dog. With the kids gone all day and with me starting to work a little here and there I didn't want Rams to be home alone all the time. I did a little research and found local rescue that had quite a few dogs open for adoption. I found a cute little chihuahua-dachshund mix in the group of adoptable dogs. Jason agreed to come with the kids and I to look at "Sparky." I know he wasn't happy about it but he was a good sport.
Once we met him we just felt he fit. He has a completely different personality than Rams and I think he will keep Ramses on his toes. He is about 6 months old and comes from a kill shelter in California. He's sweet and he should be the size of Ramses when he's done growing. We had a family meeting (or 2) about the responsibility of having another dog and the kids swear they are gong to help. I hope so.
While the kids were at school I went and picked him up. Here are their reactions to finding out I bit the bullet and got us a new family member:
He came with the name Sparky and that didn't fit him at all. After a few days and getting to know his personality better (and scouring names on the internet) we've decided on the name Fritz. A little because I think he's German and a lot because he sorta acts like he's on the fritz.....he's hit a few walls and only has one speed...turbo.
Welcome to the family, Fritz.
(p.s. don't pee on my floor)
