Snowbird

We have a dog! We adopted him yesterday from Homeward Bound Rescue. He's a basset hound/lab mix (although some think he's a beagle/lab mix). He's a nice, gentle dog so far. He doesn't bark much, although he did bark/howl for awhile when first put in his crate. His only real drawback so far is that he smells pretty bad - even after a bath. We'll have to see if there's a way to decrease that.

I had planned on naming him Arthur. Scott wanted to name him Uintas, after the Utah mountains or Alta, the ski resort. Since I could barely pronounce Uintas and don't like to ski, I compromised on Snowbird - also a ski resort, but to me it refers to all the old people who go down to Arizona in the winter. I think it's a cute name.

Here's some pictures:

Snowbird's first bath. He tolerated it pretty well, although his tail was between his legs most of the time:
A long first day:
I woke him up this morning, took him outside to go to the bathroom and play a bit. He seemed more interested in lying down.
