We're getting a new addition to the family. A second dog to go with are currently dog Thor (dog of thunder). It's going to be an energetic little Beagle that's going to be named Fenris. The kids are pretty excited and Thor will have somebody to play with outside. I was sort of amazed that there was such slim pickings at the shelter, they were running low on dogs to adopt. We found ours only because he had just been transferred from another shelter and there wasn't time for anyone else to adopt him first.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wonder if more people are spaying/neutering their doggies? Or was it a random fluctuation in doggie supply?

I dunno, I always think of shelters as not having enough room, but it looked to be about at a quarter capacity and a lot of the dogs there were already adopted and just waiting pick up. This is a no kill shelter as well.

Yay puppy.
I wonder if the rise of more breed specific rescue societies means that unwanted dogs are being directed to more places other than general shelters.

Well, there are still plenty of dogs in shelters, no?

Or maybe people can find the specific breed of doggie they want by searching shelters via the intertubes....

My local SPCA never seems to have more than a handful of dogs for adoption at a time. Cats on the other hand...

You know, Gud, you name a dog Fenris and somebody's gonna get their hand bit off.
