We have a new addition to our family and her name is Cupcake! She is a Cairn Terrier Mix, who has had a few too many cupcakes by the looks of her.
We adopted her from the Riverside Humane Society which was an great experience. The facility is SOOOO nice, the staff was super helpful too. They reminded us that they were a no-kill shelter and that all of their pets would find homes. They really wanted us to find the right fit, not just feel sorry for an animal. Everything was clean and warm, not that scary animal shelter feeling. They even set up TWO interviews with our family and Cupcake, Jack was having a bad day the first time. They all cheered and were so excited for us, and the dog of course! They also have under retail priced pet items in their shop, that supports the shelter.
Cupcake is low-key, has only barked once. She sleeps happily in her crate at night, and did fine while we were gone for church. She is warming up to the kids, but gets a cautious look in her eye when Jack is around. Good instincts. Luckily since I got the huge baby gate for Christmas I can keep them separated when I can't have both eyes on them. She'll be trapped in the kitchen. Like me.
