Toby

After losing Chappy it has been the understanding of all those closest to Jay that, although Chappy can not be replaced, Jay needed to have another dog.  It has also been an understanding of those closest to me that I would be quite content to not have another dog in the house.  But I especially knew that Jay needed another tag along buddy for evenings and Saturdays while puttering and fixing at the shop.  He also needed a buddy for a lap companion to share naps with on the Lazyboy.  Jay has been looking online following pet ads and made a few inquiries into possible selections.  We thought we'd try to find a dog that was already house trained.  This past Tuesday night Jay was looking through the Merchandiser and saw an ad for 11 week old Boston Terrier puppies in southern Lancaster County.  He made a call and after supper he and Mr. Studly drove down 'just to check 'em out'.  We ALL knew that meant we would be adding a puppy to our household that evening.  (and I just got my carpets cleaned the Friday before!) 

So now let me formally introduce you to Toby - Jay's Christmas present buddy.

Trying to get the scared little fellow to eat something.

Wednesday Betz & I were planning to be away all day and not able to care for a new puppy so Jay packed him up in his crate and he spent the day under Jay's desk - I think we may have started something here and I think it's a great idea.



And the little weasel ....... he's worming his way right into our hearts.....   yes, mine included.  sigh......

But life is brighter today.  Things are a little less tilted, more aligned, closer to normal.......  because it's Jay and his dog again.
