My name is Ed...

Cute ain't he? Meet Sir Edhill..the newest addition to our family. Ann's cocker spaniel recently had a litter of 7 pups! I kid you not! How 7 little flers emerged from that small dog is unbelievable. But anyway, Ed here, was one of the smallest, and looked least like a cocker spaniel. He looks like a Basset Hound...you know, the Hush Puppies mascot? Yea...apparently, Ann's neighbour has a Basset Hound...hmmm.....

The pic was when we brought him home, last Sunday...shivering, quivering little fler..see the face? Super manja face..it took him all of one day ( and howl all of one night) to become the bundle of energy that he now is. We coined him Sir EdHill..in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary, cos little Ed here..climbs EVERYTHING! And we figured, he's just as adventurous as his namesake too!

Ed's howling though, drove my mum ( and Jackie, my existing dog) crazy. So, last night, I sat him down, and told him, "Ed, live up to your namesake, have a little dignity, stop howling like a jackass" or something along those lines...and guess what? He stopped last night.

Could have been that he's gotten used to a new place..or maybe he loved the smell of Jackie's cushion, and felt comforted and less lonely..but he slept through the night.

Jackie however, after 8 years of being the ONLY pampered pooch in the household, feels jealous still. So I sat her down and told her "Girl, we're spending more time with you now than ever, just because you feel like this" and she seemed happier..maybe it's because she's getting used to Ed's smell ( we put his towels in her house), maybe she's suddenly realising that we DO spend more time with her. Maybe she's getting used to the idea.Anyone got any other ideas on how to get them to get along?

So there you have it..Sir Ed..We love him to bits now, and just want both dogs to get along, so we can love em both together. Worth missing the gym for, I'd say.
