Ollie joins the pack
by fasterlaster on Dec.27, 2009, under Laster Family
With the Laster pack down to one old, grumpy blind dog, the kids certainly had a legitimate gripe. It’s hard to play fetch with a blind dog. Steph and I spent some time looking at breeds that would be a good fit for our family. We settled on a possibility of a rat terrier (or rattie). There is a breeder (10 kitty farm) down south of Pueblo so we all loaded up and drove south the day after Christmas. We really weren’t sure about these dogs because of our lack of exposure to them. However once we got there that was shortlived, and we just fell in love with them. We spent a good amount of time deciding between “riley” and “rosalee”. Both had a great temperament with the kids, but the end decision was that rosalee liked to climb so we went with the more grounded “riley”. All the way home was spent brainstorming names, and in the end Oliver was decided on ( we call him Ollie).
