Meet Sue!

Although we were planning on waiting until sometime next week to foster again, we picked up Sue this morning. He (he's named Sue after the Johnny Cash song) is the last of his litter to be adopted and rather than be left all alone we took him in. Since he's a puppy it shouldn't take too long for him to get adopted.

We picked him up at the farm where he had been staying. We've been told that he's a stinker. I guess one of the girls in the litter was alpha but when she was adopted Sue decided that he should fill that role. People would come to look at him and end up taking another puppy in the litter because he was being mean to his brothers and sisters.

We knew that he'd get the idea that he's not alpha dog with Beacon around. And so far Beacon has been putting the smack down whenever he feels Sue is misbehaving. Sue immediately submits and tries to lick Beacon's chin, which is a sign of submission.

So far he's been pretty good for a puppy. He's 9 weeks old. His mom is a beagle and who knows what his dad is. The entire litter was a mix of colors.

As soon as we brought Sue home we went into the backyard with all of the dogs. He ran around and tried to avoid getting wet by the hose. Andrew got him a couple of times. We'll have to see how he really likes water in the kiddie pool sometime soon.

We'll see how much sleep we get tonight!
