Dog Days

They call this time of year the dog days of Summer.  My son brought home a new puppy.  She is a firecracker of energy.  I love her to death but she doesn't get along with our oldest dog, Angel.  She likes to agg on a fight and the puppy just keeps up at it until Angel snaps at her.  She retreats and lays down like she is plotting her next attack.  The barking and carrying on just kills Sherry and she gets into the fray with a non tolerant voice that has little or no affect.  The puppy's name is Pickles.  Where did my son come up with that name?  I beleive it may have been from the movie "Lady Killers".  To add injury to insult we are soon to have another dog by the name of Bell.  She is a refugee from WV.  She is an outside dog at least.  If she came in with the pack I know Sherry would bust a gasket for sure.
