I'm Officially Obsessed!

I had to start a new blog, because I'm in love. In love with my chihuahua/terrier mix Mr. Bojangles. So, on this blog I will be posting my pictures (believe me, there are a TON) and musings about Mr. Bojangles, dogs, and more.

To start with, I've always been a cat person. I grew  up with cats and have always lived with cats. I never had a dog until a little over four years ago. Stanley, the Beagle, is my first dog and he is a great dog, but he is older and doesn't cuddle...although he does love to get head rubs. More on Stanley in my next post.

Mr. Bojangles came into my life March 5, 2011. The BF and I went to donate pet food to the Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry "Stuff the Bus" campaign. Rescue group Recycled Doggies was also having an adoption event. Since my parents went to the adoption event to get a dog, they wanted us to see the one they picked. So, we went inside...and that's where I met Mr. Bojangles.

Most of the dogs at the event were big. I remember the smell in the room, it was warm, a little stuffy, and totally smelled like "dog." Lots of dogs. The crates were lined up along the walls and we went around looking at the dogs. I saw a small, scruffy dog named "Rags." I asked to take him out and that was the beginning of the end.

I never thought I would be a dog person (although, I love animals and would love to rescue all of them in need) deep down, I'm still a cat person. However, Mr. Bojangles is a perfect cross between a dog and a cat and I'm totally obsessed. So, I hope you will share in my obsession.
