We have a new member of the family, well, at least for the weekend. His name is Grissom (b/c he is always sniffing for "clues" like the dude on CSI) and we actually don't know how old he is. We think he's a beagle and maybe dachshund mix, and yes, he does have on a doggie diaper! You never know what a puppy is going to do and when! Gail, who works with Brian, found him under her car one day last week and has been caring for him since. She was going out of town this weekend so she asked if we could keep him and of course Brian was thrilled to take on that duty! He was as excited as when we adopted Shiloh. So Grissom has been with us since Thursday. He is VERY much a puppy still. He is very different from Shiloh who just sleeps all day. Grissom has things to chew and things to sniff so you'd better just get out of his way! Especially if you don't want your toes to become a chew toy! But he does great in a crate so when he gets a little carried away that's a great place for a rest. He's sort of brought out the puppy in Shiloh (to an extent!). It's sort of a little brother type of situation. He just would love it if Shiloh would play with him and he just aggravates her to death to no avail. Shiloh just stands there and takes it and ignores him as much as she can. When we brought out all of Shiloh's toys that she NEVER played with she all of a sudden became VERY interested in them when she saw Grissom was enjoying them. Doesn't that sound just like something a sibling would do?!!
So,it's been quite an adventure here. We'll see how the rest of the weekend goes. Brian will be so sad to see him go. He IS very cute and has the sort of crazy eyes that are just a little too big for his face...adorable. And he's just so tiny. What a cutie!

Jan, Wade says Grissom is "cute, goodbye."....he's going a million miles an hour!! What a precious puppy! This will either make Brian want one more or cure him of it! I was sad to see he's going home after the weekend. Grissom looks like a Shiloh version of Georgia! That will keep you busy! I think you'll be glad you're using the diapers. I hope yall have so much fun!
Cute Puppy! And Shiloh is so cute too. We have a puppy, well, she's older...about 7 months. Her name is Lolly (she got into a bag of lollipops) She's a lab mix. She likes to sleep on our porch swing and chew our flip flops. I've enjoyed reading your posts. I miss ya!

Grisson IS really cute. When you talked about maybe getting a puppy, I was skeptical. It could turn out to be a lot to deal with when the baby comes, but to quote Claire, "Then I thought, but what do I know about it anyway?" Enjoy. He's adorable, and sounds like he was fortunate to have been found under the right car last week. Divine intervention.
Hope you and Brian have fun with the kids this weekend.
Love,
Mom
