New addition to the Family... we got a dog.

BeancookerNew addition to the Family... we got a dog.
So this little guy was at the humane society. He never barked, and he seemed a little shy. Out in the meet and greet area, he was super friendly, but calm.
The humane society said he appears to be mini pin and chihuahua. Maybe all chihuahua. I don’t really give a shit what he is. He’s cool as fuck, and my wife loves him, so that’s all that really matters.
Supposed to be 3-4 years old. Definitely leash trained. Always walks to the right of everyone.
Bought a dog bed and immediately he knew what it was and jumped right in as if he owned it for years.
Assuming he’s housebroken. He hasn’t pissed a drop since we picked him up. I’m assuming it’s nervousness. We have had lots of walks and opportunities, just hasn’t squeezed a drop.
He has drank some water and eaten two treats and some kibble.
Mrs. Cooker likes him a lot.
I think he’s pretty damn awesome.
May I introduce to you, Louis, the newest member of the Family.

soflaacHave had a couple rescues along the way with similar result - they took a couple days to get their plumbing operating regularly.
Congrats on the new addition, he looks like a fine chap and that your wife likes him already is a big +.

olfuzzyIt always makes my day to hear of someone adopting a dog. Give him a few days and not only will his plumbing start working but he'll probably find his voice.
Great looking dog and thanks for adopting him.

sigmonkeyWait... I thought you said you got a dog.
That's a rat crossed with a pirahnna.

texassierraNice looking pup. Hopefully he'll continue to be a non-barker. My pup only barks when she's afraid of something or playing. Congrats!

BeancookerSo we haven’t had a dog since we first got together.
That was almost 17 years ago.
This dog is pretty great. Like i feel we won the lottery with this dog. Super awesome.

old rugged crossVery nice, I like him too. Congrats to you guy and him. Surely he is a mix. How big is he? His colors are very similar to an Australian shepherd we had many years ago.

He’s about 8.5 lbs. yes, at his size, the .5 is a big deal.
