Lilo!

So some of you might have heard that Jason has gotten some work with FEMA. He is going to be doing inspections for them in hurricane effected areas. Since his business slowed way down after the hurricane the FEMA job has come as a real blessing. Well he has been approved to go and will be traveling a bunch the next little while. It made me sad cause I haven't really been in this house alone, but I am happy that we are going to earn a little extra cash. So anyways I made the big push for a dog. We found a dane online that we really wanted but the people fostering it said that it wasn't good with kids and cats so no go. I was feeling some urgency about it and so I went to the Petco adoption fair. I found a dog there that I fell in love with but she is no Great Dane. Here is Lilo:I don't know if the pictures do her justice but she looks like a Dr. Seuss dog to me. She is some kind of terrier.. she is short haired with long hair on her face and feet. I know we are big dog people but right now with all I have going on I wanted a low maintenance dog. And her temperament along with her size makes her perfect for us. It was so cool eating dinner with a dog in the room who wasn't under my armpit! And she can't even reach the toilet! It's a whole new dog experience! It's only been 5 hours but we haven't even heard a peep from her yet. As for her name- the rescue kennel was calling her peaches but the kids named her Lilo. We like the Hawaiian sound so Lilo it is!
