Dogs that is. (Boy am I going to get splogged on that post title!) Anyway, here is a picture of the newest Jack Russell, who joins two other JRTs & a chocolate lab in our household. We got her from the shelter yesterday after our friend Amy spotted here there. Amazing how quickly she settled into the pack, though I do catch the other dogs pouting occasionally. It’s always tough having a new baby in the house. First thing she said to the two other JRTs when she arrived: “Well, at least I was smart enough to keep my tail.”

Update: Couple of little dust-ups this morning, the first between Candy & the old terrier Penny. Candy apparently got in Penny’s face with a chew toy & Penny’s dignity was insulted. Carole picked Penny up & I took Candy out of the room. No blood was shed, no skin broken. And a minute later the old lab knocked Candy over for being a little too much in his face. This is just how dogs figure out where they stand in the pack, though it can be a little unsettling to us humans. And then a minute ago Candy was sitting on my lap & began growling at her own reflection on the glass covering a painting on the wall a few feet away. Our other dogs have never paid much attention to their own reflections, but this is the second or third time I’ve seen her do this. Last night she was very curious about why we keep a terrier behind the oven door in the kitchen. Here is the rest of the crew: Jett, Penny & Angel:
