Introducing...CHLOE O'BROWN

I said it would never happen...

I said I would move out before I let it happen...

But it happened.


(And I didn't move out.)


There's a new addition to the Brown Family as of November...

Introducing CHLOE O'BROWN!



We took Jack to the Petsmart Grooming Salon on a Saturday, and while we were there we saw the "Heart For Dog Rescue" group had some of its pets there available for adoption. When we came in I had seen Chloe (who actually was named Lucy at the time) walking around with her little "Adopt Me" vest on. I thought she was such a cutie and her fur was so soft!

After we dropped Jack off to get groomed Brandon and I found Chloe and started talking to the rescue group people. Basically, they had just saved Chloe from an animal shelter on the south side of town about one week earlier. The shelter had picked her up as a stray. She was supposed to be killed the day after they rescued her! She had stayed with a foster family for a week and this was her first Saturday "on display" at Petsmart.

After a few hours of discussion Brandon and I decided that we needed to rescue Chloe that day...and our family of three turned into a family of four. When Jack was done with his grooming we let him meet Chloe to make sure they wouldn't kill each other, and they did very well together almost immediately.

So, it's been a little over a month now and everything is going great! Jack loves having a playmate and it really hasn't been much more work having two than it was having one. Chloe came to us already crate trained (although she hates being in her crate, probably from her experiences at the pound) and that was a big factor in our decision. Also, she seems to be a low maintence dog with a soft, non-shedding coat...so we won't have to groom her as often as we do Jack. We aren't certain of her breed, we were told she is a terrier mix and is probably between 1-2 years old.

Picking our her new name was easy. Jack Bowser needed a sidekick...and who better than Chloe O'Brown (named after fellow CTU agent Chloe O'Brien from TV's 24) We are really enjoying both of our dogs. And I don't care if people think we're crazy dog lovers, because we are!
