Introducing our new dog......Rex!!

Yes, it's true!  We have a new dog, and his name is Rex.  We really miss our little Janni sooo much, and definitely felt like we were not going to get a new dog for a very long time.  I think we both had enjoyed the time we've had not being responsible for a dog (cats are sooo much easier), but several weeks ago, we both kind of started up with the "gosh, I sure miss having a dog"... or "hmmm, I know there is another special guy/girl out there who would love our home".... stuff like that started coming into our everyday conversations.
Then, about a week before Thanksgiving, sure enough, we start looking at Petfinder.com.  And of course we are "just looking", but we all know how that goes! HA  We were defintiely interested in another cattle dog, or cattle dog mix.  We were interested in one guy name Bosco, who was a rescue up at PAWS in Lynnwood, but by the time Rob went to look, he was being adopted.  We next went back to looking at Rex online, and thought we'd see what he was all about.  He was at a rescue place over in Kirkland.  He had been a stray in the Richland, WA area, and found his way to Kirkland about 8 weeks ago.
Sooooo, the Friday of Thanksgiving week, we go out to Kirkland, just to "look".  Long story short, he came home with us, and we took him straight to The Wash Dog here in WS.  Then to Petco for a new leash, collar and tag - he got a Seahawks tag like Janni had!
He was nervous the first night, but was well behaved and is very good with the 3 cats.  As of today, we have had him for 2 weeks, and every day there is more and more progress with him trusting us, learning his place in our home, us learning about him, etc....
He is a very good walker and loves the neighborhood, is gentle with another dog in our building, loves the cats, wants to please us and play all the time.  We really are enjoying being back at Lincoln Park on the weekends!  Rex LOVES to run at the park and explore!!
