Welcome Milo!
Today Corey and I adopted a dog. He was a stray turned into the shelter, where he was cleaned up and named Milo. He was a staff favorite.
He is a mutt mix of Terriers. He kinda looks like Toto (Dorothy’s dog, not Michael’s brother), but bigger. He comes up to about Corey's knee and is built like a rock. They guess his age to be about 10 months. He is as cute as a dog can be.
Big sweet eyes, a floppy tongue, and a curled perky tail. He is mostly a charcoal color, but the top of his head is lighter, almost like some one gave him highlights. (Maybe there is a Queer Eye for the Strait Guy in the doggie world.)
He has excellent house manners, sticks close to me or Corey at all times, does not come up stairs unless I do, and prefers to stay down stairs.
Corey is a little timid around him, and Milo seems to recognize that, so he is very slow moving around Corey. However, he loves when I get on the floor with him so he can give me, what I can only describe as, a hug. He loves to play fetch with Corey. And I think we will have many years of joy from this dog.
I know many people are not dog people. (If John actually read my blog, he would be rolling his eyes, i.e. not a dog person.) But this is not a yappy, jumpy dog. In fact, the neighbor's dogs started up when we were outside and Milo seemed to roll his eyes at them. Didn't bark once.
And I promise not to become one of those "Dog People." You know, that expect you to love their dog, let their dog in your lap, not get grossed out by the licking and the fur everywhere. And I will never, ever call Milo one of my children. He is a dog. Let’s keep things in perspective here folks.
But I will say this, a dog can be a wonderful addition to the household. They are eager to please, never critical, loving, loyal, and devoted. That right there is more than any boy or man I have ever dated! And I kept some of them around for years!
Plus, I will sleep well at night now that I have a mobile alarm system.
So, I welcome Milo to our home and into my son's life. The smile on Corey's face says it all.
