No, I'm not pregnant, we've just been looking for another dog for a while now to be a companion for Lexi and just haven't been able to find one that is good with kids and dogs until yesterday. A friend from high school runs Hopalong Rescue in Oakland and they get lists from local shelters on dogs and cats that have 24hrs before they are euthanized and Hopalong goes and picks up the ones they think they can adopt out. "Geuro" came to them last week as an Obese lab that failed his temperment test because he barked in the kennel. So he wasn't even elligible for adoption when Hopalong picked him up. He's a 4yr old male lab that someone fed and fed and didn't train. He doesn't know any commands and just wants to sleep on the couch all day but he's mellow and so far can tolerate Lexi and the kids. We didn't like the name Guero so we decided on "Nero" (Clifford's firedog brother). It sounds close and Aiden can remember it. He's got 30lbs to lose and I think it will come off fast. We are his foster parents for the next 2 weeks and at that time we can decide if he's a good fit.
