Change

I was at the dog rescue place yesterday and ended up taking home a dog for the night. Don't tell my Mom! It was a stray that just came in and there was not much room because new puppies were arriving that day. I thought about it and it seemed like the best thing to do under the situation. She really is a lovely dog, she just does not really like other dogs so she kept barking at the other dogs, and they were barking back. She could not be mixed in with the group so I decided to help out. I thought at worst if the dog went after Hal I could just take her back. However, this is exactly what I did not want to start doing. I believe it's important to help out, but it's just really not practical for me to take in a dog. Money wise, lifestyle wise, and also for Hal's sake. But, it was bound to happen, being involved with a rescue. I am hoping it's just for the week, but we shall see. Hal was perched up on the kitchen cupboards all day today but he just came down and went into the bedroom when the dog was laying down. Tomorrow is the vet appointment and she will be in for the night. My house is not dog proofed anymore but she is not really getting into anything, other than the cat food which is now relocated. I don't know what to call her so I just say 'sweetie'. She is sleeping in the bathroom/doorway area at night so Hal can roam around if he chooses. Other than that, I just don't know.
