Our new addition

This handsome young fellow came home with me last night. Cat Girl is most displeased.

This was his description on the shelter web site:

Perkins story is one of those "tear-jerkers"- his owner passed away & no one else had room for this big, lovable teddy bear. So he came to us, & as is true for most dogs, he's very glad for every Volunteer who comes in to take him out for a walk or just sits in his cage & hangs out with him. But he would be happiest with a home of his own where he can lay on the couch(or on the floor) & watch basketball games or car racing. And a dog biscuit every now & then would make him ecstatic.

From the description, it sounds like he could actually be a bit of a "couch potato", but during the early adjustment period, things can be a bit chaotic. But I think this is really going to turn out to be a Very Good Thing.
