Welcome Home, Jordan.

Well, we've finally done it. After years of thinking about it, discussing it and planning how we'll handle it, we finally took the plunge.

We got a dog.

Now, to most people this isn't that big of a deal. But to the Totten/Taylor household, it's a very big deal. Mostly because we're very committed to being good dog owners. We studied our Dog Whisperer, we read dog books, we did pretty much everything we could to prepare ourselves.

Today we drove down to the Kingston Humane Society and visited with "Muppet". We took her for a walk and talked with the staff, who just loved her. We discussed it and decided to go ahead and bring her home. We weren't really planning on taking her home on the first visit -- we figured we'd visit her, then go home and discuss it, then most likely pick her up on the weekend. But we decided we'd go ahead and take her home, since we were sure we wanted her.

We've decided to call her Jordan. She's named after Jordan Mountain in New Brunswick, where Laura's father grew up. As a child, her father had old type collie farm dogs, and when Laura first saw the picture, she thought of them. So that's why she's called Jordan.

Here are some pictures of her. We'll take some better ones tomorrow so you can see her crazy half blue half brown eyes. She's a bit thin and still has mommy tummy from having had a litter of pups before she was abandoned at the shelter. If she needs a little fattening she come to the right household. :P



Welcome home, Jordan.

Cheers,
Grant and Laura
