"Too-T or Not Too-T" aka "Tootie"


We've been looking into getting a dog for a while now and this past weekend we dog-sat for a guy Eric works with. The dog's name is "Tootie" and we fell in love with her right away. The owner said we can keep her if we want because they are moving and can't bring Tootie with them. We we first heard her name we had to giggle because it is a silly name. When we first told Tyler her name he replies back "Tootie-butt" hehehehehe.... I liked calling her "Cutie-pa-tootie" and "Tootie-fruity."
Tootie is very well behaved/trained and LOVES to cuddle on your lap and follow you around. I was cleaning out Ty's closet and she even followed me in there! Tootie also LOVES to play catch outside. On Saturday we took her to a park with a huge field and played fetch with her. She's pretty fast!! The only thing is she seams very timid and she doesn't bark with a stranger comes. I'm hoping it's just because she's a little home-sick and would be able to adjust in time, but it's hard to tell. We're thinking no at the moment, but it's sure going to be hard to say good-bye.

we're thinking about getting a dog, too. we're reading training books right now and trying to decide what kind of dog to get. we have to get a puppy so that cash (the cat) can get used to having it around. He doesn't do well with grown-up strange dogs.
good luck! dogs are fun!
