What a beauty! Congrats on the new addition to the family.
How are they getting along so far?
Louie has met his match. To our surprise, Trixie actually has more energy than Louie (who is extremely high energy) and she has him wrapped around her little paw. She takes no guff from him and, again to our surprise, they aren't jealous or fighting over toys or food. She immediately learned to use the dog door and has had no accidents in the house ... which is pretty good for a seven month old. Best of all, after a day of getting used to each other, Louie is much calmer and a better pup than ever.
Trixie's parentage is somewhat of a mystery. The rescue had her listed as a terrier mix but wasn't real sure if that was so. At times I think there's some beagle in there and at other times I see part border collie but with shorter legs.

I know full grown adult humans who still have accidents in the house, so she's doing well!

That's great! Dogs and their chemistry with other dogs is so funny. I suppose they're just like people to a certain extent - some become best of friends and others just don't sit well with each other.
It's hard to read your description of your two dogs without a smile on your face. I'm a dog lover for life, but at the moment don't have any in my life.
Friends of mine that have a baby on the way are thinking of giving away their mastiff/lab cross (which they bring with them every time they come over as they know how much I like her) and I'm seriously considering adopting her. It would be a win/win for both of us but I'm a little hesitant to make the commitment. It would definitely force me to come home for lunch (which would get me out for an hour or so and would be a good break from the daily chaos) and to get outside more, but I still don't want to commit to it unless I'm 100% sure it's the best option for her. She's a great dog and is well trained and well behaved, but being responsible 24/7 for her is a whole other story. I've seen too many people (personally and online) that shouldn't be dog owners and I would hate to be even remotely like them, although I know I would never neglect an animal. There are some sacrifices involved in owning a dog, as you obviously know, and selfishly enough I'm not 100% sure I can commit to making them. I like being able to get away to go fishing or on road trips as I please and there would be some careful planning involved if I added a dog to the equation.
Anyways, I digress.Congratulations on the new family member!
Bring her to the shop with you, I bring mine in and he loves it, plus the customers love seeing him!
