Team Laika is getting a mascot
Hey All
The Laika Trio celebrated their 8th birthday on Oct. 25th. Hard to believe that much time has gone by...I remember vividly when they were little black and white slugs.
They had an above average day, getting an extra long walk on a gorgeous rain-free morning. They got to bark at geese, found a box turtle on a woods path, had a cat sighting, and grumped at a Great Pyrenees. What more could you ask for?
Well, they aren't asking for one, but I decided to get them a mascot. After all, October is American Humane's Adopt-A-Dog month. I was sleuthing around on PetFinder months ago and I noticed this little terrier. I would check on him periodically and he was always STILL THERE. More months went by and I still thought of him. I finally emailed to get some more info on the wee beast. I wouldn't consider him if I thought he would push these guys' buttons. Wouldn't you know it, he was still available and he is reported to be extremely laid back. (Damn) The next challenge was convincing Chappy...He thinks four dogs in a townhome is a bit extreme, but I really see it as 3.25.
Please let me introduce this Patterdale mix. I think we will name him "Tangent". (He should have a name that starts with 'T' like everyone else.) One of these is not like the others, but he does match our color scheme. He is currently in Tennessee and will be transported to Virginia next weekend.

Let us know how the x-rays went and when/if he is coming home.
If he gets to hang around on our couch for a few short years, it will still be fun. I'll get some intro pics.
