We just had a baby!!! No, not the human variety, but a soft, cuddly, doggy that we adopted Sunday at the HI Humane Society. His name is Attikus and he's about 4 years old, very rambunctious, and extremely well-mannered. The only little thing we're going to have to watch out for is how my other furry baby- my kitty Julius- will respond. So far, he hasn't been too excited with the new arrival, as he's been spending evenings and nights up in the bedroom. This morning, instead of chasing me down the stairs for his morning treats, Julius lingered behind, apprehensively teetering four steps up from the living room landing. His wide eyes scurried around the room as he heard Attikus' tail thumping around the corner. Tonight we're going to try to reintroduce them to each other- so wish us luck. Below is his picture from the Humane Society, but his name is spelled wrong. As you can see, his left ear is floppy, which is Shay's favorite physical characteristic.
