Yesterday, a new arrival came to our home, this one canine not feline. he is 3 months old, his name is now Yoda and he is wonderful, incredibly smart, mellow when he needs to be puppy! He bonded to me right away so tight that when we stopped to get puppy food, he howled the entire time I was in the store! LOL Mike said he had to turn off his hearing aid to recover!

He is Mike’s Christmas gift but he’s not bonded to Mike yet- but as I told Mike this morning- his therapy boots he has to wear in order to walk properly scare even me! I am sure these frankenstien type footwear startle Yoda as well.

The cats are cautious, a few of the old timers are used to dogs so Sierra, Taylor, Baker and Trump were all in the living room sleeping while the pup was roaming about.

We tried to put him in a large cage, but he wasn’t liking it much so he slept under my feet (I crashed on the couch) and I put a barricade in the kitchen/dining room to give the cats space and to keep him out of their food.

I am hoping that Yoda gives Mike just one more reason to stay another day in the world. Perhaps one day what a miracle it would be- Mike will be able to take Yoda for a walk! That would be a blessing-

Anyway here he is and the people who owned him before us took such great care of him, but their life got busy and he ended up spending a lot of the hours in the day in a crate. Here he has acres to run on and we are both home the majority of the time-

This is pretty much he slept last night
