It’s Ollie! (I’m sorry, Pete, if you’re reading this; he came with the name. I hope he’s a good namesake, and so far, he is.)
Ollie is around 5. He was rescued from a kill shelter by another family, who’s since had a baby, and Ollie and babies don’t get along. I’m sorry they had to give up their doggy, but I’m happy to have a new buddy to play and run with. He’d been here about 3.5 hours, and considering he’s likely confused and worried about what’s happened to him, he’s a very good boy, and we’re getting along really well.
Ollie is half dachsie, half Corgi. He’s about 25 pounds, and very healthy. In the outdoor pic, he was surveying the boundaries of his domain, and receiving a welcome from the neighbor across the street. In the photo above, he was playing with his favorite ball, with me. He’s pretty cute, kinda funny, and again, a good good boy. He’s here for good, too, which is nice, that I don’t have to worry about him going to a rescue for some medical condition. He’ll likely become part of my conversation now and then, and photos will be shared as he allows. I set this up before bed, so I’ll know more tomorrow.

I think he’s dealing really well. We’re having fun today; he’ll keep me fit, for sure!

He’s a cutie! Just the right size! I envy you since my Lilly is off playing in Doggie Heaven, but then again … at my age, I’m not so sure I want the responsibility of another dog.

That actually occurred to me over the past months since Corky crossed the bridge, to play with Lilly and all our friends. But, though the house has been hair-free for a while and today it is already hairy, it is joyful. But I’m pretty sure he’s my last pet. Thank you, Nan! He is a great size, and he’s a good boy.
