A new addition

Our almost 16 year old dog, Mulder, disappeared in late May.  He went outside one afternoon with Amos and never came home.  We never figured out what happened.  Most people guess coyotes, but I guess we'll never know.  Amos became an only dog for the first time in his life.  He seemed a bit lost for awhile but got used to it, I think.

So, what do you do once the only dog gets used to his new, single life?  You bring home a three month old bundle of energy.  We got a pomeranian/chihuahua mix who should grow to be a whopping 5 lbs.  Amos seems indifferent about his new mate.  He doesn't dislike her, but he doesn't seem fully convinced by her yet either.  After a couple days of contemplating, we named her Gertie.  The kids love her.  She isn't a fan of Owen most of the time but tolerates Brendan pretty well.
