Title: I got a new dog

I just got a new dog today. It's the first dog I've ever been able to claim as my own and I haven't lived with a dog for about 10 years now. I have always wanted a dog of my own and since my ex got another cat for herself, I thought I would get a pet for me. Her name is Simone and I got her from the humane society. She is a sussex spaniel mix and she is 7 years old. I look forward to having a great companion for a long time who will stay with me throughout the years of transition. She is a very nice dog and so far has been great with the kids and the cats. I love my dog. :)

That's great Melissa,
I had a wonderful dog that helped me thru the most difficult times. Give her a kiss for me.

Melissa,
That is cool and strange. I found out that Mariah got a new dog today too. From a rescue shelter. It is some small thing, but it is loving. Phoenix, her Beagle who was only 5 had to be put down just this past Wednesday. He had diabetes and was blind all of a sudden. We tried the special food and insulin, he got better for a few weeks then just took a turn for the worse. I am not familiar with a "Susex" spaniel. Is it similar to a Britney Spaniel?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Marco, the Sussex (2 S's...well 3) Spaniel is about the same size and shape as a Brittany spaniel (we had one growing up), but a solid brown coloring and longer fur (which is currently shaved off for the summer) so it is a mix. You can do a google image search for sussex spaniel (http://images.google.com/images?q=sussex+spaniel&hl=en) and brittany spaniel (http://images.google.com/images?q=brittany+spaniel&hl=en) to see what she looks like. I don't have batteries for my camera at the moment, but I can post a picture as soon as I get some.

That's great news Melissa. One thing with dogs or cats that is their love is unconditional. She sounds really nice and the name you chose is darling. I hope you will be togerther for a very long time.

Actually, I didn't choose the name. She's been living with it for 7 years, so you don't just go and choose a new one, but thanks anyway. :)

To celebrate the new dog, how about some monkees?
Now? You know my girl -Now? You know my girl just called me up.
And she woke me from my sleep. You should- you shoulda heard the things she said.
You know she hurt my feeling's deep. I'm gonna buy me a dog.
A dog?
A dog.
Why?
Why? 'Cause I need a friend now.
Babe you need all the friends you can get, I'm tellin' ya
I'm gonna buy me a dog. My girl, my girl don't love me no how. Don't ruin my song, man.
It's the only song I have.
It was already ruined when it was wrote. Oh where's the verse? S
he used to bring me my, my newspapers.
You don't even know where it's at.
'Cause she knew where it was at. She used to keep me so contented.
But I can teach a dog to do that, I'm gonna buy me a dog.
You couldn't teach a dog to do that, you can only train elephants.
'Cause I need a friend now.
I need a friend now.
Now.
Yeeaaahhh.
I'm gonna buy me a dog.
A dog- here Rover, Fido, Spot.
A dog, come on. My girl, my girl don't love me no how. One.
