Meet BENJI

Well I do not know what Jack and I am thinking...and actually what the land lord was thinking also....We have a new addition to the family, his name is Benji and he is about 4 months old...He was abandoned by his owner (they got evicted) and he is just the cutest little fluff ball...The land lord took him in, but after 1/2 a day it did not work out with their dog (Teeko a Silky) SO they brought him up to me and asked if I would at least foster Benji til they can find him a good home...I think after about 4 hours though, that he will not be going anywhere. Marie brought me a big container of food for him, a temporary collar and leash...and I guess when we can, he will be getting all his own goodies and toys and making a trip to the vet for his shots. SO even though I thought it would be a while before we got the kids a dog, he has already settled into the Basil family. He is sleeping next to Brooke, and stole her covers to make his bed. I had to get him a blankie of his own so that I could cover Brooke back up. He is house trained and really likes to follow the cats around. Patches is not too keen on the idea of this fluff ball intruding on his space, but Bubba is quite curious as to what it is....Benji got his first bath in his new home. He did not like the blow dryer, but he will get use to it over time. Oh I guess I should tell you what kind of dog he is, NOW this is what I was told so I am not just making this up...He is a (no idea how to spell it) Shitpom.....He is Shitzu and Pomeranian mix. Wanna see some pics...they are not the best, he was too busy getting to know his surroundings. He looks even cuter now, that he has been bathed and fluffed up with the brush...He has the looks of the Shitzu but the hair of the Pomeranian...I will have to see if he will be left as is, or if he will be getting regular hair cuts.

My family is going to have fits when they find out, But oh well....This is going to be fun, tomorrow, when they are here...Maybe I can hide him...What ya think? Yea sure do you really think the kids are going to let him go unnoticed. Maybe I will say we are just fostering him, til they find him a home...That is what we are suppose to be doing...Then later I will fill them in on the news that he is here to stay....That sounds good to me....

I did not get the living completely picked up........But I have a feeling that fluff ball will be waking me up early to go potty, so I will just do it in the morning, and pray it is presentable..
