Our dogs are dumb, they stand there and bark at snowflakes. Did I mention we had a new dog?

Arwen, I call ger Arwen the ugly dog. She's like a freakish Frankenstienish experiment mixing an australian cattle dog body with a beagle head. I hope the fertilization happened in a petri dish because otherwise, the idea of her conception would be both weird and gross.
Darcy found her and rescued her and her brother from some crazy farmer dude who planned on shooting them both the next day--he had too many dogs. The fact that some murderous redneck asshole was so casual about taking innocent dogs' lives is what pissed me off to the point that I gave in and said ok to yet another animal. We found a good home for Arwen's equally hideous brother the same day. I hope he's turning out to be better looking. On the plus side, she's smart. We had her crate trained in a couple of hours, house trained in a day. We've had her 3 months and she's gone from skeletal,missing patches of hair, and acting depressed and cringing when somebody raised their voice--to a rambunctious 9 month old 40 pounder who follows simple directions, has learned how to play with us, the cats and Bo and thinks she's a lapdog. A heavy lapdog.
And yes, "Arwen" continues Crash's tradition of geekitude by naming our animals with names from Lord of the Rings.

Crash Davis would never name a dog a hippy name from LOTR. He probably wanted to name it Lady Steele. I suspect the females of the house gave it that

Darwin is selectively smart. As in if you're holding a Cheetoh he know exactly what you're asking him to do and does it.

Heh, on the subject of geekitude, my good friends, who are most un-geeklike, have a young lab named Skywalker. He succeeds two
