Promised Puppy Pics

Well, he arrived a week and a half ago and I managed to totally forget to post anything about him on here. Of course most of the people here see my stuff on Facebook, too, so either way... But as I use this as kind of an online journal, not just to communicate with others, I do want to get them up here too.

To his previous owners (who have 5 kids and are very busy so were thinking of bringing him to the humane society--don't want that!) he was Jack, but as that is our cat's name, and we've been calling our cat that for many years, we figured it would be easier on us if we changed the dog's name.

We call him Benji, because he just looks like a Benji to us. I realized it's kind of a special name to me anyway, because when I was little we would go over to my late grandpa's house and watch that movie a lot. So it works. He's a rambunctious little thing! And, Lhasa Apsos are bred to be watch dogs, so he's pretty bark-y when he's outside. Inside, he doesn't bark unless someone walks in the door. Unfortunately, he has a BIG bark, so when he does bark, it scares the bejeebes out of me!

He makes up for anything he does by being cute. He's nine months old, light brown and white, with a very expressive face. And he torments the cat. Hopefully that won't last too much longer!


We all love him. He fits in well and is calm as soon as things around him settle down! When others are excited he wants to be right there in it. He's gentle with the kids and really loves us all already. The kids have already fallen on him and all that and he doesn't do anything. He's a very good dog.
