Meet our newest family member... Tahoe!

Introducing... Tahoe!! This past Friday, I decided to make a trip to the Humane Society "just to look around." They have a book at their front desk which contains profiles of all of their adorable mutts. I saw Tahoe's picture and asked if I could meet her. After they brought her up, we made our way to the play area where we ran around and played fetch. Not only was it love at first sight, but she also seemed incredibly well-behaved. After filling out the paperwork, I called Blake at work and asked if he would come and meet her. By the way, Tahoe is listed as a "border collie mix." During the whole meeting process, I failed to realize that she is obviously a "lab mix." Anyway, Blake came over to the shelter with me to meet this "border collie mix." When they brought out Tahoe, Blake asked "are you sure that's the right dog?" Well, despite Blake's desire for a big-fluffy-haired-dog, he also fell in love with Tahoe. She is about 1-1 1/2 years old, and she is house-broken, and responds to some commands. She loves the snow, and jumps all around in it. When she smells something curious, she sticks her whole head in the snow to get a better whiff. She is a character, for sure. Sheeba is less than thrilled about the dog, but I think she'll come around. She's a little nervous around Tahoe... the dog gets really excited around the cat and wants to play. So, we've definitely got some training to do with the whole cat/dog relationship. Tahoe has a very gentle nature, so I think we'll be just fine. But, for now, Sheeba prefers to steer clear of what she considers to be the product of a bout with temporary insanity.
