There was big news on our cul de sac this week. The neighborhood grew by one. Yes, friends, you heard it here first. We got a dog. Well, to clarify, my brother got a dog and we will be helping to take care of him. So technically, he's my "dog-nephew". Meet Cisco! Cisco is a 12-year old hound mutt. His previous owner recently had a stroke and was unable to care for him properly. He has had some wonderful "interim care" by the owner's sister and brother-in-law. We got to meet him last week just to make sure it would be a good match and on Friday, he arrived at my brother's house for good. He is wonderful. He is mellow and loving. He knows a few basic commands. He rarely barks and it seems that he will get along well with other dogs. I love the fact that we have taken in an older dog. As you probably know, older animals are usually tough to place with families. Lots of people want cute puppies ...
