 Our New Puppies

I’d like you to meet the two newest Engels!  Originally named Stuffing (the rottie) & Pecan Pie (the tan), as they were born on Thanksgiving, the renaming process is under way.  Taryn has settled on Xavier (t.p.f.k.a.* Stuffing) and I’m still mulling over names for Pecan Pie.  My current favorites being Jake & Alex.  We adopted these litter brothers from the Wake County SPCA yesterday.  I didn’t know until recently that pups born in one litter can have different fathers, but these two make that pretty obvious. In spite of our expectations, they slept soundly through their first night, crying only twice to be let out for a quick constitutional.  The cats seem to be adjusting well to them.  Oscar & Felix learned to pretty much ignore them within half an hour of being introduced, and Casey… well, he’s been in hiding for the past 24 hours.  It may take a while to convince him that these guys really are his little brothers.
