I totally forgot to tell you guys some other biggish news -- we got a new dog! This was my anniversary present to Rebecca, and a friend for Leeroy so he won't be alone outside.

Meet Preacher:


They're quite a pair.


Preacher testifying.


We adopted him from Pets & People in Yukon. He's "about" 2 years old. Basset hound + ?? mix just like Leeroy. They didn't know hardly anything about him -- no name, no exact age, whether he was housebroken, etc. He was already altered, and they gave him all his shots and made sure he didn't have heartworm (and gave him a preventative). All that for $65.

I called him Preacher because he's quite a talker. He's got quite a vocabulary of sounds he makes to let you know how he's feeling.

Anyway, Leeroy LOVES him and they get along great together. They've been wrestling constantly trying to determine who'll be the boss, and I think Preacher is coming out on top. Leeroy has just been so much more calm and happy-seeming since we got him a friend to play with. Preacher's a real good dog with absolutely no food aggression toward us or Leeroy, even if I reach my hand into his bowl while he's eating, and he's pretty chill. If you go outside and sit in a lawn chair, he'll just flop himself down beside you and go to sleep.
