As if my house isn't already crazy enough with 6 people and 1 cat, we've added yet another animal to the mix by adopting a dog! It's technically my boyfriend Matt's dog, but all of us in the house approved and are so excited to have a new creature running around. We adopted her from the Maryland SPCA right in Hampden near our house and we absolutely fell in love with her as soon as we met her. She is an 11-month-old shepherd/lab/beagle mix, medium-sized dog, and she is extremely shy, but very loving and adorable once she opens up. We named her Cambia (i.e. Camby, Cammie, Cam) which means "change" in Spanish (very appropriate) and it can also apparently mean, change-up, as in the type of baseball pitch (also very appropriate considering the 2 baseball jocks in our house :-) Here are some pictures:
She is still getting used to living in a mad house with 6 people coming in and out at all times, and she is also still recovering from getting spayed recently and just from shelter life in general (she is still very scared of and hesitant around large men...) She is opening up more and more everyday and what has also been hilarious is watching Cambia and Misty (my cat) interact. It's taken a few days for Misty to get used to not being the only princess of the house anymore and she is slowly warming up to Cambia. Last night was the first night we had the two of them together in the same room, willingly! Amazing! Check it out:
Animals are so great and such wonderful companions. Maybe now I'll have to post some recipes for homemade dog treats for those of you dog-owners out there :-)
I love these photos! I want to meet Camby in person! Love you, Mom
