Welcome, Walter Bernard!

Here he is, the new addition to our family, Walter the Pekingese!

We adopted Walter a little over a week ago when he and his sister were left at the shelter by a series of people who "didn't feel like keeping them anymore". Thanks guys! Sure hope none of you have kids!

The Giraffe and I had no intention of adopting a dog like Walter, but a really awesome woman who works at the shelter stopped us and asked, "You like Pekingese?" We couldn't say no. She showed us Walter, and the next day we took him home. He had a stupid name at the time that he didn't respond to, but as soon as we started calling him Walter, he started listening.

For the first few days he was a confused shadow, following us from room to room, sleeping always, and looking depressed.

Now Walter is absolutely the best dog you could imagine. The most loyal animal I have ever had, happy and relaxed with people and animals, loves to eat and run, and really loves to nap in our arms. He is calm and happy and loves to sleep by the tub when you shower. This dog is such a gift. He is only a year and a half, and we look forward to our long life with him.

The Barron is home, indeed!
