Little old Jarvis loves to sun.

To prepare our neighbor Verdell for dogsitting this weekend, I wrote her a letter with details on our dogs' eating, peeing and pooping habits.

We came home to find that she had left this reply.

Thanks Verdell!

His name is now Jarvis Borgnine McCabe-Cao.

Jarvis has been with us since Saturday and has already captured our hearts. I could watch him chew all day. Ignacio is a little jealous of his little brother, but they’re napping together now so I think it’s going to be okay. :)

It was only $35 to take home this teeny guy at the OC Animal Care shelter. Amazing. Name pending :)

Some crazy pollworker let Ignacio vote even though he forgot his ID!

I blame @terranaomi for posting this photo on her blog. I reallyreallyreally love this tux, but it was designed after Leo Dicaprio’s Oscars tux which means its price is totally jacked up. ($100 vs. around $30 for a similar outfit.)

Reasons:
1. No other dog tux looks this sleek.
2. Ignacio is an integral part of our wedding.
3. I would make him wear it on every one of his birthdays for the rest of his life. (At least 10 years I hope? 10 wears = $10 per wear)
4. At least I’m not making him wear a Rhett Butler costume (available on nearly every dog costume site).

Does this make me any less insane?
