Meet the newest member of the Asberry family!

Here are some pictures of the newest member of our family, Harley. He is a Husky mix that we are adopting from Atlanta Pet Rescue. We were in PetSmart the other day, not really looking for another dog, when I laid my eyes on Harley. I have wanted a Husky for a long time and I couldn't resist taking a closer look. Donna is an even bigger sucker for animals than I am so she didn't need much convincing. He has such a great personality and he stole our hearts pretty much right away.

The tricky part was that we were getting ready to leave for Indiana in a couple of days, so we couldn't adopt him right away. So we've been waiting, just sure somebody else would adopt him from under us (they don't hold pets for adoption, which is understandable) but we were able to pick him up tonight.

He is a very docile, friendly, well-behaved dog. Our only concern has been whether or not he would get along with our current dog, Scout. They haven't exactly warmed up to each other yet, but I think it's going to be OK. There have been a couple of interesting moments, one or two growls, but that's about it.

We got them seperate food and water dishes. The funny thing was that we put the dishes in seperate rooms. Instead of Scout eating where he always eats, and eating from his old food dish, he ate Harley's food. Of course, Harley proceeded to eat Scout's food!

They were also really funny in the back yard. We turned them loose to run around and I discovered the origin of the term "pissing contest". Harley would find a place to pee, and as soon as he was done Scout decided he needed to pee in the exact same spot. And vice versa. They were funny to watch running around in the back yard.

At the moment, Scout is asleep on the couch with Donna. Harley is sleeping on the floor by the Christmas tree. For the moment, everyone is sleeping in heavenly peace. :)
