2012, Day 39 - Anticipation

I am experiencing great anticipation and some anxiety because in about ten days I should be bringing home a new fuzzy addition to the family.  His name is Frankie and at a little under a year old he will be by far the youngest member of the household.  Right now he is living with a larger group of dogs than I have and while he is doing well Frankie needs a little less competition to shine.  He is a sensitive soul and I am sure that he will flourish with additional attention and I expect that he will mesh well with all the other dogs.  The only part I don't like is that whole transition into a new living situation.  It will be weeks of operating on high alert so there aren't any accidents and reworking walks so that everyone has an opportunity to complete their business with relative privacy.  But the stress will be followed by years on companionship and, with a little luck, a buddy who is more inclined to participate in life's adventures rather than being content to greet me afterwards.
