Stanley joins the family

We adopted a dog. A new member of the family! (Yes, I am crazy- but you knew that already.) That puts our count at: four humans (subcategory-two toddlers) three hens, and two dogs. I guess now I need ONE of something.... I found an earthworm in Adrian's pocket once. I think that counts.

I know Flax LOOKS less than thrilled at Stanley's arrival- but believe me they are two furry peas in a pod

  A little about The Man Himself:
                1. He's obese. His elderly previous owner cooked him three human meals a day and didn't have any energy to exercise him.
                2. It appears he's had a head transplant (cow body, black &brown head ONLY)
                3. He thinks jumping from heights and crash landing on Flax is a great wrasslin' move.
                4. He fits right in with us perfectly. He loves kids,  Sawyer has thoroughly given him the ear/nose/tail pull test. (Sorry Stan.)

   Stanley's first morning at breakfast with us he looked on approvingly at the egg I was frying. He sat his mismatched self down smack dab in the middle of the kitchen rug and patiently waited for me to add a few sausage links to the pan.  You should have seen the look on Franken-dogs Franken-face when I placed his bowl of kibble and cottage cheese on the linoleum before him.  So THIS is how it's going to be?

   Later that afternoon, we took Stanley on a walk. I meant to bring the camera so I could get some great action shots of him and Flax frolicking at the park, but left it at home accidentally. After dinner I grabbed the camera to hunt down Stanley and try and get a few more pictures of him for the blog. Apparently his new lifestyle is taking it out of him!

This is all he could manage

     Curious George made an appearance at Learning Express Toy Store.  Adrian really enjoyed meeting the characters at Disneyland last year- but I wasn't sure how SoyBoy would feel about the giant monkey costume.

Neither boy wanted their turn with Curious George to be up so other kids could say hello.  It made me happy to see them so happy.

Adrian and the long goodbye
