Confessions Of A Bad Blogger

Thanks to our readers it has come to our attention that we have been negligent in certain aspects of our blog. First, it is true we are no longer Houston Lingards. In light of the fact that this is the third state we have lived in, in the last three years I felt it wise to remove any references to geographic location in our blog title. Second, we have been remiss in posting any photos of our new doggie. Third, to commemorate our big move/new job, etc., a blog makeover seemed timely and appropriate. 

Introducing "Gizmo"!!


Gizmo is half Yorkie, half Bichon. His previous owners felt guilty about keeping him penned up all day as they worked full time. So they sought to re-home him for the mere sum of $100. He came to us pretty much potty trained and well-mannered. He is 8 months old, has the sweetest temperment, and has unending patience for "the Puppy Bully" (Ian). Gizmo actually gets along really well with the kids and they really seem to love him. Ian amuses himself for a good hour or so just laughing and squealing playing chase/run away with Gizmo in the back yard. Gizmo has adjusted really well to our home and seems to be very happy. 

You may be asking, "What happened to Roxy?" Just as we got her out of the puppy phase and pretty well trained we had to re-home her. It was too difficult to have her at Marjie's with us so we found another family to love her. She was a very sweet wonderful dog. I miss her but not her hair. One thing we made sure of with our next dog is to get one that doesn't shed (virtually). Gizmo fits the bill perfectly! Also, we've never had a small dog and we're finding that we really like this small dog. BTW, Gizmo doesn't look like the above picture anymore. We shaved off all his hair because he kept getting junk tangled in it. He started looking pretty Natty Dred. More later...

Love the dog. if I ever got a dog I'd get a small one. I'm happy that you are adjusting and that appears to be well.
