As you can see, we have finally named our dog! Inspiration came from two sources: 1) The recent movie by the same name that we thoroughly enjoyed and 2) Roman mythology - in ancient Rome, Juno was the goddess of matrimony and queen of the gods. At any rate, it's a vast improvement over Hot Dog!
Juno came to us supposedly already house-trained but yesterday was the first accident-free day since we got her on Saturday. We figure she was just kind of thrown for a loop with adjusting to a new environment and all and is just now getting back on her game. She certainly isn't as shy now as she was the first day we got her. When we leave during the day we put her on her leash and attach the other end to the washing machine, which is in the kitchen. This has worked pretty well the last couple days (once we realized we should remove everything on the outside of the fridge that is in her reach!). At night she sleeps on a blanket beside our bed. She really has adapted wonderfully to living with us and we couldn't be more pleased. She sure makes us feel loved - if I get up and walk five feet away to retrieve something she follows me the whole way. Last night was pretty amusing - I went to bed before Jason and she had a hard time choosing who to be with. She kept running up the stairs into the bedroom to say hi to me and then she'd turn around and go back downstairs where Jason was. Five minutes later she'd be back up to see me again and then downstairs again to Jason.
In other news, I have an interview for a job this afternoon that I think I would enjoy. I'm not going to say anything else about it right now because I don't want to psych myself out :)
It seems as though winter is ending here...temps have been in 60s and 70s. Our winter really only consisted of maybe a handful of days of 40-degree weather. It just boggles the mind...we're half-expecting a call from up north asking us to come help dig our families out of the snow :).
Hopefully later this week I'll post a blog about our trip to Spain (just for you, Tina!).
Take care, everyone,
-Mel

Juno is a great name for a dog! Short sweet, but with a little meaning :) You were wise to name her sooner as opposed to later, seeing as we waited too long and now our cat is just kitty (or as we often say it KITTY!!!) :)
