No Little Monkette has not arrived yet…but earlier today Big Monkey and Little Monkey went down to Tampa to pick up Roland. I had posted about Roland here last week. We did not think that he would be ready to go so soon because just on Sunday he was still in Alabama. He made the flight to Tampa on Monday and much to our surprise was ready to go today! He is about 5-6 months old, neutered and microchipped. He is very sweet and Little Monkey was in love with him after spending five minutes with him. They were playing and Little Monkey said, “Okay, we can take him home now!” 🙂

He loves to play and look out the window. He even did pretty good his first night in the crate. He cried for about five minutes and then was quiet the rest of the night. Big Monkey let him out before he left for work this morning and then Roland cried for about three minutes before settling down until Little Monkey and I got up. He doesn’t seem to be very hungry but hopefully he will learn soon that when his food is down, he better eat! Roland is also enamored with our television (although a lot of guys are). I hope to catch a picture of him watching it because it is quite funny to see him so focused on it. I think he is a guy’s dog and has appeared to be looking for Big Monkey already today. So far all is well though. I do think we are a little crazy to get a puppy and have Little Monkette arriving any day now too but hopefully it will be a smooth transition all the way around. He is a sweet puppy and loves to play but then collapses for a nap!

His serious face!
