Ive decided to get a dog. I have been wanting one for years now and I think its time. I have been chatting with someone from craigslist about adopting their purebread 4 1/2 year old Beagle named Carmelo. Im told he is very friendly and mellow. Going to meet him on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll be a match (me and the dog that is). This person tells me that they don't have any yard and the dog is inside most of the time. I have a medium sized back yard for him to roam around in & I can take him for walks every day before work. Me, him and my daughter can go to the park on the weekends.



I dont really want high energy puppy, so Ive been looking for a good adult dog.



I was worried about not being at home so much, but it seems like my 2nd job never gives me work anymore and I am mainly only gone for the evenings 5 days a week. So I think dog ownership will work out for me.

I want a new animal companion, my birds & fish just aren't enough it seems.

What hours do you work during the week? I'm asking because Beagle's howl when left alone. I lived next door to one once and the howling drove me nuts! Had to complain to the super of the building as that dog was keeping me awake all night long because the owner worked nights. Found out it wasn't only me that complained and finally the Beagle and its owner moved!

Going to see the dog tomorrow morning. I'll let you guys know if I adopted him or not tomorrow.

He is fixed if thats what you mean by altered...



Anyway, I adopted him! He's exploring the house and the backyard, seems to be on cloud 9 at the moment.

Such a lovable little guy!

What do your other pets think of him? And vice versa?

I second this proposal!

My other pets are fish in an aquarium and birds in a cage.. The birds dont even like me that much so Im sure they hate the dog. lol



Anyway here is a couple pics from today:

According to his papers, his birthdate is September 5th 2007. So he is 4 and a half.





I just came home from work for lunch and he was so excited to see me. Not used to my arrival home being such an event! Lol.. Shame I have to go back to work in a lil bit. Ill be home again in 4 hours though.
 
He is just so adorable!

Oh yeah, I have to remember the dog walking etiquette.. Oops



On my walk I walked past some abortion protesters (we went out on a main road by some doctors office). They had these really gross pictures blown up on their signs. Eww
