meet the newest member of our family.
this poor girl is 11 years old and probably 10 lbs. overweight.
we inherited her from a friend who had no choice but to get rid of her.
when she tried to take her to the pound, they said they would most likely put her to sleep since they foresaw no one wanting to adopt her.
it should be noted that my wife is the biggest softie when it comes to dogs and putting this overstuffed jelly donut of a dog was not acceptable to her.
our newest acquisition is a jack russell whom her original owners unimaginitively named jackie.
monica and i both agreed immediately that the only name lamer for this type of dog is russell.
we also understood when we adopted her that it's best to choose a similar sounding name when choosing a new canine moniker.
so within two minutes of owning her she was renamed snackie.
you know, short for snacqueline.
we just couldn't get "lunchbox" to rhyme.
hopefully we don't hear any more doggy sob stories for a while.
otherwise our house might end up like this.
though having a rotund british housemaid would be pretty rockin'.
