Voo Doo Creach

We added a new member to our family today. Erick and I have wanted a dog for a very long time, but we have put it off for one reason or the next. Recently, we revived our interest but made our list of demands for a dog so stringent that we never imagined there would be a pound puppy to match it!
*Good with kids
*Not a barker
*House trained
*Easy going
*Lays around a lot
*Erick put hound dog on the list for fun

We thought we were making it unattainable to have a dog. Then we met Voo Doo. Unbelievably, he meets all of these criteria. He is a fabulous dog. Sophia is in love with the "new dog." She followed him around non-stop when she woke up to discover him in her house.

We have been amazed at how good he is with her, William and Aaron. He allows William and Sophia (Aaron has no desire) to explore every inch of him without getting irritated - or even interested. If they were inclined, they could be offended at his apathy.

Voo Doo seems to have settled into life here more or less. Once he finally calmed down, he has been asleep 75% of the time. He likes to come and get a little lovin' before he settles on his spot on the floor.

My only problem is his thick black hair. It makes for a wonderful coat to pet, but my floors are already covered in a black shag rug. So this is going to add to my daily routine pretty significantly, but we are sure that he is entirely worth it!

  2. Creach Family - Congrats on the new addition! He sounds a lot like our dog, except for the laidback, laying around and she wasn't housebroken when we first got her, but learned very quickly. Also, she's not really keen on the girls exploring her, but she is still good with them. So, maybe not so much like your dog. :) She doesn't bark, though and we can definitely relate to the hair, but kudos to our Dyson vaccuum - it really does the trick!

    Where did you get him? How old is he?
