We have been thinking of adopting a new dog for a month or so now, one because Danny likes the company of other dogs and two, to (hopefully) have a good influence on the little rascal. We debated long and hard whether to get one as we were quite convinced that Danny was capable of corrupting any good boy.
Eventually we decided that Danny seriously needed a friend and I poked around a few sites. We wanted an adult dog so that his character would be less corruptable who could get along with other dogs. Size was no issue as Danny has proven that he is quite comfortable with dogs of any size, however, my bro and sister-in-law are quite scared of local specials, and my mom still wants them to visit so we had to rule those out.
Several websites had adoption posts but many of these "adoptions" came with fees, which reads like selling to me, so I avoided them.
After a few hunts, I chanced upon Pets Channel's adoption site, where we found Javier, a four-year-old silky terrier. A few emails with his owner and Javier was dropped off at our house for a one-month trial.
Danny and Javier seemed to get along right off the bat. However, when he realised that his owner was gone, he moped about for a good hour before cheering up a little.
Wanna see how he looks like?

Well, here you go! Isn't he a sweety! He not only looks sweet but he IS sweet too.
He's a placid, gentle dog, unlike Hurricane Danny. But like all terriers, he can be a force to be reckoned with. Danny found out the hard way when he tried to hump Javier.
Danny's a smart cookie but he really needs to work on his EQ.
We tied Danny and Javier apart so they each had their own personal space but could still interact if they wanted to.
The funny thing with Danny is that whatever Javier did, he just copied.
Everybody sit
Everybody down
Everybody look left
If this keeps up, there may be hope for Danny yet!
