Everybody, meet Teyla
Srsly, how could you not love this puppy? After dog-sitting for a week, Dave and I finally realized that it was time to find Max a playmate. After Ash died, I vacillated between liking being down to one dog, and jonesing like mad for a new girl. (and missing Ash of course). So, We dog-sat Sheba and the next Friday, I drove up to Brenham where my brother got her and came home with Teyla. She's listed as a Austrailian Sheppard mix, but I'm beginning to think she may actually be a Border Collie mix. They look similar and I've already had three people stop me and ask if she was a Border Collie. She may not be a mix at all.
I realize we've now completed our SGA OT4, with my xB named Rodney, Dave's truck he dubbed Ronon and the hot rod called John. No way was David calling his Nissan beater Teyla.
I actually wanted to call her Lili, Dave wanted Sheila and it came down to Tasha (Yar) or Teyla and I decided Teyla. She is like, the quietest and most well behaved dog ever. I'm used to balls of energy, and she just finds herself a spot and curls up. I brought her to work today, and she's slept most of it and charmed the pants off everybody when she wasn't sleeping. The plan is to socialize her in a way I never did with Ash or had a chance to with Max. Maybe I've been watching too much Dog Whisperer, but this time I want a gentle well adjusted animal that doesn't bite old people and small children.
Max hates her right now, but he's already showing signs of caving. Creepiest thing, we buried Ash in the back yard. As soon as I set the puppy down, Max went and stood on her grave and glared at me. EeeeEeEeEee.
