Who Let the Dogs Out?


We are finally moved into "The Lodge" as we call it, our home in Maryville for the next year. I am taking 2 summer classes, so I will be here until the first week in June. At that time, I will continue working at the bank for the rest of the summer. I am having a good time here, and it's going fast already. One week is already gone. After class, some days we go and volunteer to walk dogs at the Nodaway Co Humane Society. It's a really good way to spend an hour or so! There are a lot of really good dogs there. I have fallen for a Black and Tan Coonhound named Digby. He is by far my favorite. I would adopt him in a heartbeat, but the house we are renting for the year doesn't allow pets of any kind. I've been over a lot of ideas, trying to find a way to rescue this dog (which they don't really have it that bad, they're inside, get plenty of food and water, and with the college students that walk them, plenty of attention too) but none of them are feasible. Next year we decided we would look for a house, apt, etc, that would allow a dog. I can't wait.
To make things harder on me, Seth adopted a German Shepherd mix yesterday named Gus. He was the largest dog at the shelter, and the most gentle. He practically walks himself, at a slow pace and takes you to the door when he's ready to go back to his pin. He never barks and seldom even gets up to a 'trot'. But Gus is a great dog, and from what I hear, Seth and him got along just fine for their first night together. I am excited about Gus and maybe just a little bit jealous haha.
Someday I will have a dog of my very own. I am excited for that day.

  1. Looks like a great dog and I love the name. Hope your summer goes great. Maybe some day you and Digby will by roommates.
