We had a lovely Thanksgiving. All of our children and their families were here, and my mom, sister and nephew. There were 11 adults and our 6 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. We got to meet the latest member of our family today. Fun!Our daughter and son-in-law have adopted another dog to be a companion to the dog they got a few months ago, Darcy. The new dog was a stray in their neighborhood. Kelly took him to the vet to see if he is micro-chipped, but he is not.
She searched lost dog ads, half hoping that she would not find that someone was looking for him. She called the humane society, and they told her that if she kept him for three days without finding the owner, he was officially hers. He had some doggy problems, like fleas and parasites, and she got medicine from the vet for him. She bought him a kennel, leash, collar and tags. What a lucky dog!
Her husband named him Banzai. He's a sweet boy, a little bit bigger and slightly older than Darcy. She loves him, and they play so hard together. I think Banzai is just what the slightly hyper Darcy needed. Chuy was a little overwhelmed by two young whippersnappers that can literally step over (or on) him, but they all got along well.
Welcome to the family, Banzai! :o)

Just an update on Banzai:
He's doing great in his new home with us! He was neutered last week and while he was under sedation they implanted a "friend chip" microchip for us as well. He's now crate trained and housebroken (aside from some slight confusion with the Christmas tree which he "baptized" once before being corrected)! :-P
I can hear him in the backyard right now barking about something. He likes to chase Darcy and barks at her when he gets excited.
I'm so glad things went so smoothly during Thanksgiving when we introduced him to Chuy and the rest of the family. It was a wonderful day full of family and fun. Thanks mom for the delicious Turkey dinner (we are still eating turkey salad sandwich leftovers -- YUM)!
