Mingus, Our Second Mongrel
Posted by Tim Wed, 11 Apr 2007 01:35:59 GMT
Kate has always wanted a second dog, but every time we found one we liked, there was a reason to not adopt. We were browsing Animal Haven a few weeks ago and came across a dog named Harley. He was very calm for being in the middle of a hectic shelter, and affectionate as well. We liked him, but we couldn't adopt him on the spot without first introducing Tango.
We bought all of the requisite supplies on Wednesday of that week. Saturday we took Tango over to my parents house and left her in the back yard. We went and spent some time with Harley, enjoyed him very much, and went back to get Tango for an introduction. A little over an hour later we were taking them both home, except that Harley was now called Mingus.
After an initial adjustment period where Mingus spent most of his time crated, he is now a full member of the family. He sleeps well, and that means a lot to us. :-)
Thank you to Mom and Dad for letting us stash Tango at your house while we introduced ourselves to Mingus, and thank you to Jacquie for helping us out with Tango while we filled out the paperwork for Mingus.
