In Brief

[jadecat]

The Nelson household has a new member, Kyle. Kyle is a one year old lab/chow mix, and possibly the sweetest puppy boy ever. He can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/r8efh (oh, focus on the picture on the left, it's more representative of him).

Isn't he cute?! He's a lover/snuggler. As of yet he has shown absolutely no interest in toys of any kind (save the one cat toy he pulled the feathers off of). We're thinking this may change as he gets used to being here- he was in the shelter for nearly a month. And we've already signed him up for basic obedience classes- with the hubby and I both participating. :)

In cat news- Sasha is instructing Kyle in his place in the household, and Leo is sticking to the high ground as he has no CLUE how to deal with this newcomer.

Thank you. :) The cats are slowly working on it- Leo has come down from the highest bookshelves, which is progress. Kyle does have a slight scratch on his nose- delivered from Sasha, who is a lot braver than I had thought she would be. She's not so much afraid of him as pissed off that he's there. ;)

Obedience is a must- for all of us. Plus, as the trainer said, it's a good chance for us to bond as we didn't raise him from puppydom. He already knows 'sit' though, and will give you 'hugs' if you request them. :)

To me the two pictures look like different dogs! They're both Kyle though. When I saw them again I realized I had seen him on their website- but hadn't given him a second thought- being interested in Astaire (who I think is still up even though he's been adopted) and Meredith (who isn't on the site any longer as she was adopted on Friday). Then we met him- and that made all the difference. :)
