MAX

So this is an extremely happy post! So most people know that I LOVE dachshunds! I used to have my little Buddy but things didn't really work out with the whole roommate thing and her dog so I couldn't keep him. Anyway, I've been planning since February (when I got my tax refund) that this coming February I would use my tax refund to get a new puppy. Well, last Sunday Ray said we needed a dog. Then he had Monday and Tuesday off, so Monday he says, lets go look at dogs. Well, went went to the King County Animal Control shelter in Kent and guess what???? They had a dachshund!!! He was perfect! He is red and a mini and looks just like Buddy did! So of course, I have to get him! They picked him up on the 26th of Sept wandering around a shopping center in Issaquah. So I go up front and wait forever and then say I want him. But, he had shots that day to go into surgery so they tell me to come back tomorrow. Now believe me, it was very hard to leave without taking him with me. I thought about him all night. I called first thing when they opened on Tuesday and asked if he was available for adoption, the answer was yes. Then when we drive all the way out to Kent they tell me he is in surgery (it got postponed from the day before) and would be ready to pick up at 4 or 4:30. So I adopted him before I got to meet him but fine with me. So Ray and I went to the SuperMall and walked and then we went and saw The Guardian. There was like 10 people in the whole theater on a Tuesday afternoon. So after the movie we got to go and get him. We named him Max. He slept pretty much the whole night since he was still coming off some drugs. The next day he was a much happier dog. Only problem, when I left in the morning on Wed and Thurs he got so anxious that he started chewing the blinds. So we are now missing 6 blinds and 7 more are all chewed up on the bottom. He is definately a mama's boy. He doesn't listen to Ray very well yet. I keep trying to tell him to listen to his daddy. He only poops for Ray though, not for me. Funny. Anyway, we have a new member to the family. Mister Max Isom. He is 2 years old and we're so happy to have him! We got him a ball at Petco the other night. He almost grabbed it out of my hand at the store he was so excited. He loves that ball, he sleeps with it even! I can't wait to show everyone pictures! We put a computer on layaway at Wal-Mart so we should have that by November! :D FINALLY!
