Learning the ropes

Hershey has been with us a few weeks now.  He is learning the ins and outs of the household.  Rule number one that he has learned is that Plumpy the cat is number one and he is number two.  The end.

Err, Hullo, somebody sleepin' on my bed mommy?

 Is this how a doggie bed works?

Maybe I will just use this small corner here.........

Notice how the cat hasn't even opened an eye throughout this whole process.  This isn't his first dog and pony show.  At 14 years old he has seen them come and go.  And nobody is going to kick him out of the cushiest spot in the house.

New kid in town!

We don't really know what kind of dog he is.   Something crossed with a Corgi?  Some say Basset Hound,  Sheltie, golden retriever?  Whatever he is his name is Hershey.  The girls have added Kiss to the end.  He is short and sweet and loves kids.  He has added a bit of sunshine to our home!

 He came to us via a NH rescue and was plucked from a shelter in Calhoun County, AL.  He arrived into foster care skinny, full of worms, suffering from a severe, painful ear infection, kennel cough and Giardia.   All potentially deadly diseases.  Actually not potentially- deadly diseases if not treated.  After 6 weeks in foster care Hershey was healthy enough to make the transport to NH.  It took him three days to get here driven by vvolunteers across the country.  Despite his rocky start in life with humans all he wants to do is be around us for a pet on the head, a nap or a hug from a little girl. 

It was love at first sight for the whole family! 

You shall never be lonely again..........
