As I said earlier, I would write more about Leslie’s dog, Angus. She really lucked out! He is a great addition to our extended family! Although she did her best due diligence, he came sight unseen from a shelter and foster home in the LA area. She knew he got along with the other dogs in the shelter, but it was essential that he and our dog, Finnegan get along.

Angus arrived a couple of weeks ago, having just been neutered and after a car trip from LA. Although he was rightly traumatized, he took to Leslie right away. He likes to be close–very close–to her!

He was listed as a chihuahua or chihuahua mix, but we think he might be part Italian greyhound. He has very long legs for his body and reminds us in many ways of my late greyhound, Callie.

As for Finnegan, they got along from the beginning!

Finnegan does pester Angus to play a lot, but Angus is patient, and the more they are together the more normal their relationship gets.

Also, Finnegan, Angus, Leslie and I walk together 4 times a day. Since Leslie is with us a lot, Angus has warmed to us as well and is comfortable taking a nap with us. At the beginning, he had some separation anxiety if Leslie would leave, but he quickly got over it and he has spent plenty of time with us dog sitting.
