You did what?

A week ago Saturday, Keli and Brandon left in the morning to go run some errands.  They were gone for about 4 hours.  When they returned home Keli let me know that they stopped by the Omaha Humane Society to visit a dog named Lulu (an abandoned dog that was never claimed and was now up for adoption).

This is the point where my spider senses started to tingle.  There was danger ahead.  OK.. not really danger, but I knew where this conversation was likely to go.

Turns out Lulu is a Schnauzer mix, is female, has floppy ears, and has black and silver fur.  Did I ever mention that Keli has been planning for YEARS to get another Schnauzer with floppy ears, that is female, and has black and silver fur.  She wants to name this future family member Daisy.  Well, to make a long story short....

Meet Daisy

Daisy has been a member of our family for 10 days now.  It was a good decision.  We have only had to clean a few spots on the carpet and she is getting along very well with Gracie (as long as Gracie does see Daisy eating food).  Daisy is great at fetch, is already learning to sit, has already learned not to beg for food from the table, and is sleeping in Brandon's room at night.  She has been MUCH easier to add to the family than a puppy would be (although I still want to get a Schnauzer puppy some day).  She is a great lap dog too.  I am very happy that Keli forced me to get her.  OK... she didn't force me, but Brandon was rather persuasive. ;-)

I'll try to post a picture or two of Daisy after she gets her first haircut. 

Welcome to the family Daisy.
