I just don’t even.

Cone of Shame “I was trying to get in the trash” Edition.

His head barely fit through the opening so he kept trying to bite me as I was trying to get it off his head.

Redogulous.

Happy week anniversary, you odd little fluff ball.

Shasta is not good at pillows.

wifeoftj:

Shasta is officially ours. As you can see The Boy is thrilled and Tj is in love. I’m happy he found us. We are very lucky to have him.

TJ: Apparently this is my “in love” face.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been together for 20 years so if she tells me I’m in love, I’m inclined to think she’s right.

But a big part of me still isn’t over Kaylee. Hell, a big part of me isn’t over Lucky. Having a new dog come to us right now seems “too soon”… but maybe the point is that you never really get over the loss of the ones you lose. Or maybe there is no point. Maybe it just is what it is.

(Sorry Kathleen and others who hate that expression. I couldn’t think of any other way to put it.)

Given the way that he came to us… Well, sure, it could just be some random coincidence. I’m not one of those who sees purpose (divine or otherwise) behind everything that happens to us. But at the very least, it’s oddly coincidental timing.

And it’s not as if we could say “Yes, well, thanks and all, but this isn’t a good time, could you come back in a month or so?”

I guess what I’m saying, to God or the universe or The Powers That Be, is that I’m willing to happily accept this furry little gift you’ve dropped into our unsuspecting laps, but I do hope that he’ll be with us for longer than Maggie, Lucky, and Kaylee. Because I really really don’t want to do that again any time soon.

OK. Good talk.

TL;DR: HEY LOOK WE HAVE A NEW DOG. His fur is so thick behind the ear that whenever I scratch them I say: “It’s so fluffy!!”

“Hi. I’m not supposed to be on the bed. In fact if you notice there are no sheets on the bed it’s because they’re in the laundry because I got on the bed earlier tonight while all wet.

“Also this is my ‘I know I just farted and you heard it too’ look.”

it’s like twilight zone, but with dogs.

That’s exactly what my mom said.

If you take him to the vet, they can scan him for a microchip for free. If he’s got one, you may be able to find his owners.

It seems unlikely that people who would abandon him would have microchipped him, but we’ll have them check, of course.

Shasta? Like the boy from The Horse & His Boy in The Chronicles of Narnia? Also: YAY!

Unfortunately it was inspired by a movie called “Snow Buddies” which apparently had a dog named Shasta in it.

wtf, indeed. great breed, anyway. Justine will be super jelly.

I’d offer to ship him, but there’s probably a lot of paperwork involved.

Huskies are master escape artists, FYI.

Oh, Noah has already made a giant hole in the fenced in area anyway. Fortunately our neighborhood is a ‘circle’ out in the middle of nowhere, so we don’t get a lot of traffic.

Aww! People know you guys are wonderful people.

Could be.

Or the universe just likes fucking with us.

50/50.

My grandparents had a husky that they adopted as a puppy around the time I was born. She was my bestest friend until she died at the ripe old age of 13. Huskies are *awesome*

He likes cats. I can just tell. Want me to bring him over ;-?

J/K The Boy is already attached to him like a long lost brother.
