So, my dog is finally here. I went over to St. Stephen, NB on Friday to pick up Desoto, accompanied by my friend Liane, who made the long drive much more fun with her company and her collection of 70's rock and 80's pop. She didn't even complain when I laid down the "no Clay Aiken" rule. The drive was not too bad, about 4.5 hours there and a little longer to get back with quick stops at the Mall, Starbucks (ahhhhhh, Starbucks coffee) and the liquor store, and Desoto was quite well behaved. He did manage to get a lot of drool over the entire inside of the car which was kind of gross.
We stopped at the Big Stop in Salisbury and while Liane went inside, I took Desoto over on the grass. Within 2 minutes, 10 people came over to see him. One little girl came right up and gave him a big hug - she wasn't a bit scared of him, althouhg her mother almost had a heart attack! Everyone wanted to see him, pet him and to know what kind of dog he was. Two big bikers, all in their leathers, came over and made a huge fuss over him, and another guy brought his boxer puppy over to say hello - the puppy was not even as big as Desoto's head.
He has been adapting well to life in Stratford. We had a big open house on the weekend for my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary and of course, everyone wanted to see my new baby - he didn't mind all the people, I think he likes the attention. He is a little nervous sometimes if there are too many people at one time, and then he hides behind me, which is funny to see.
I will post some pictures later.

The aliens took over my cxomputer and I couldn't get anything to work!
