My New Love! Presenting... DAKOTA!

Hi friends, I haven't been around much lately, but I have a good reason. Really. I promise. See this face?
That's Dakota, my new doggy boy! Dakota is a Bichon Frise/Pekingese mix, 4 years old, 15 pounds, and so affectionate. He loves belly rubs, Denta Stix, stealing hearts, and going and lying in bed before we're even in there. And since you're wondering, yes, he does in fact have a fabulous, world class underbite. My boyfriend and I adopted him from one of our local animal shelters on Friday and I am in loooove. Really. I am just smitten with my little munchkin man. I missed him all day today when I was at work, our first day apart. :(

So, I've been busy helping Dakota get adjusted to his new home. He is really happy here, and I am beyond happy to have him. He has completely stolen my heart. The only problem? He cries desperately when we have to leave him alone. :( It makes me incredibly sad.

Anyways, I'm still reading, OF COURSE, but haven't been able to as much during Dakota's adjustment period. He's really beginning to settle in here, so things will be back to normal around the blog pretty soon, but just cuter. ;) Expect lots of pictures of my little man.

Our little family.



See... Dakota reads with mom! What a good doggy!

    What a sweetie, and you are doing such a great thing by giving a home to a shelter dog :)

    Hope he gets over his separation woes soon.

    He is adorable! Puppies are so much work but it is rewarding work! I see you have turned him into a reader already!

    Awe, yay for your new doggy! :D It's great that you went for a dog from the shelter too, so many of those poor dogs in there just need some love, and a family. :) He looks like he's fitting in perfectly, and I hope he gets better with you guys leaving him alone...I hate it when my dogs whine like that, it feels like a stab to the heart. So sad. He's pretty cute, and his underbite just gives him character. ;) Thanks for sharing him with us! :D

    What a cutie! Love the underbite, and how cool that he's a reader just like Mom! Hope he gets over his seperation anxiety soon, as puppy-cries can really rip out your heart. Enjoy getting to know each other!
