i might be a momma again soon. i've been thinking for a long time now about getting another pet... i got henry the cat, but as we all know, ross was terribly allergic..

so i've been looking at dogs for the past four months.

this must be what it feels like for women who've had a baby, for awhile they're satiated with one, but then they get that little pull in their heart like they need just one more... or two more, whatever it turns out to be.

well that's what i'm having.. heart pulls.

it doesn't help that i've been looking at shelter dogs too, because i just want them all. if i had a big yard and a big house, i'd probably have 20.

ross thinks i'm crazy, and i'm sure a lot of other people do to.

but i never cared what other people think in the past and i'm sure as hell not interested in what they have to say now.

so i've filled out an application for adoption for a little female beagle named luna. i'm not crazy about the name but luna and i clicked from the beginning. she is a little beagle who was surrendered from a family that actually brought in two dogs.. the other dog has since been adopted and there luna sits. she is timid and quiet and quite the cuddler. quite the opposite from the impressions i'd always had about beagles. she is not high strung and hyper, she was not barking at all even though all the other dogs in the pound were barking up a storm and she walked over to me and nuzzled into me and that was that.

so hoping all the paperwork goes through and i get accepted. then stella and i will go for a "meet and greet" to make sure the two dogs get along, which i'm sure they will. stella can be a bit possessive over her toys, but usually only around a more dominant dog. luna seems to be very docile and submissive.... just how i like it. easier to train a naturally submissive dog than a dominant one.

i don't have any pictures of her because i didn't want to take a bunch and get my hopes up before i found out she had been adopted by someone else...

better just to be optimistic and see what happens.

i'm trying to think of another name i could call her that would suit her better than luna... when i hear that name i automatically think "lunatic"

she's a pretty little thing, probably around 15-20lbs, white and brown, with the saddest little puppy dog eyes i've ever seen. she's quiet and docile and very very cuddly....

any suggestions? and "bella" is out of the question... too confusing for both dogs if they're names rhyme... my sister and i hate having rhyming names so i wouldn't do the same to dogs.

crossing my fingers!
