Dog-sitting Maya

So MJ is desperate for a dog. We have agreed that after the wedding we will start a hunt for a dog. We aren't picky and really do not care whether or not it is an actual puppy or a full dog as long as its an adopted shelter dog. I occasionally get emails from MJ for puppies that need adopting now but I gently remind him that with out pre-wedding schedule we just do NOT have time for puppy.


This past weekend we has the opportunity to dog sit for Maya. She is a Chinook which is a rare breed similar to a sled dog. She reminds me of a German Shepard but a little more narrow. She has the most gentle temperament and is a true joy to be around.


We were warned that she would be sleeping with us at night and we prepared for sharing the bed but this was a little more than we expected!! Needless to say, we learned a few things:
1) We will not be getting a dog this large
2) Our dog will be kennel trained
