For those of you following the new dog saga, we think we’ve got our dog!

We had originally thought we were going to get a fawn girl named Champagne.Fate intervened as sometimes that happens. She was not meant to be ours.

After some more investigation, we found a little black dog that is darling.

This Sunday we got to meet our new dog.

Her name is Ponda Hot Tub, which is not going to happen. I think we’ll be calling her Chloe. She’s literally Lotus’ twin.

We met her at the Rural King in Champaign, not a hot spot I would think.

There was a batch of Brownies selling girl scout cookies and they descended on both dogs and petted the fur off them.

I was a bit worried about having a bit-to-shit moment, but the dogs treated it like a fashion show. They both posed at the camera like models. We only lacked a runway.

Chloe is from American Greyhound and they have been very helpful. You can see their dogs for adoption on their website.

If you don’t know about greyhounds, you are missing the most wonderful dogs in the universe. They are quiet, strong, loving creatures that are like no other dog on earth.

So we don’t know when she’s coming, but she’s ours. Lotus not only is going to have a friend. She has a twin. Lotus is the girl in red. The girl with frogs and mushrooms is Chloe.

For those of you who bought quilts to help make this happen, thank you so very much! My quilts are still on sale on Etsy if anyone would like a quilt at a super low price. We still have some settling in costs that we’re covering.
