Newest Addition to the Fam: Journey

So I made the "mistake" of agreeing to see some rescue dogs without the intent to buy. What was I thinking?!? I should have known better, but I'm really glad I went. We've been thinking about getting Josser a doggie friend for quite some time... a dog he can play with, be a dog with and cuddle with when we aren't around. Most dogs are afraid of him (almost as much as he is afraid of them!) so we decided to find a permanent addition to the family. And we were lucky enough to find her at our first stop! She is a Pit Bull, like Josser, and came from a kid home with other dogs. Though she has a bit more energy than Joss, she has already been awesome at teaching him to ride in a car without whining and taking a bath without freaking out in the tub. It was so funny to watch him puff up his chest and give me the look like "Oh yeah! You think that was a good bath, watch this!" He even got in the bath all on his own!

Anyway, we were also blessed that the rescue shelter was having a deal on Pit Bulls. For under $100 we got our sweet Journey complete with all her shots, spade, 6 weeks of follow up training, a free vet appointment, and an easy-walk harness. We totally scored!

She's been high energy all day today, but we feel she'll be an awesome companion and pet.

Teaching Josser how to play like a real dog.

It didn't take long for him to catch on!

They're already fighting over who gets to sit with "Daddy."

I couldn't resist the tongue shot :)

Hugs all the way around!

That's usually Josser's spot. So far he's been the gentleman... but I don't think that is going to last too long!

He is so handsome! (And Joe's cute too, hehehe).

Journey.

A better shot of her mask.

Making herself right at home. It's almost like we've had her forever... almost. Sleeping arrangement should be interesting tonight!
