Our family has a new dog, Johnnie the pug! She's a 5-year-old adoptee from Orange County and a welcome new addition to our home. Frankie still has to get used to her, seeing that she's almost 10 years younger than he is and full of boundless energy, but it seems that they more or less co-exist together for now.
As for Johnnie's story, she's the product of a broken home. Having been raised by a couple, she was given up after the relationship ended. The previous owner, being a young, single professional, could not care for Johnnie as well as she may have wanted to. Coupled with the fact that her new significant other wasn't a dog-lover (gasp!), Johnnie needed a new home. There were parting words and even some tears, but I think the dog has found a new place to call home. There are times where she appears to be a bit confused by the significant increase in numbers of people in the household, but for the most part she is very obediant, friendly, and energetic.
It's funny to notice the little personality changes as we only had a few hours with both dogs, but already I could see Johnnie trying to impose herself as the dominant dog in the house. That and Frankie just seems very forlorn that people now have to split their attention elsewhere. Even if he doesn't move, see, or hear like he used to, he's our senior pug. I'm hoping that Johnnie will give him a bit more energy, although something tells me she's just going to wear him out.
