While its not big news like who is going to be the first dog and he is neither hypo allergenic nor a rescue dog, we have an addition to the household. 

His name is Scooter and he comes from a good home that was just too crowded with three other dogs. He is a year old mixed breed. We think he is part Labrador and part Golden Retriever.

This brings us to a perfect balance in the house with two dogs and two cats, a male and a female of each. A true democracy could ensue in case I ever decide to cede my benevolent dictatorship that currently rules the house. I just don't see that happening any time soon.
