Two Dogs?

It appears that we may now be having two dogs instead of just one. A couple of weeks ago, due to the guy my Mom is seeing, Sean, living here, we got a new puppy which is a mix breed, although I'm not entirely sure what kind of a mix it is. I know part is Jack Russel, but that's as much as I know. He was given the puppy by his brother because his brother owes him quite a bit of money. The dog is the payback to Sean. The dog appears to be worth quite a bit of money because he wanted to show it off in the bar he works in, and people were offering him £600 and more to buy it from him. He didn't sell it though.

As for dog two, he's been known to the family for a while. Originally, he was owned by my aunt and uncle, but since they moved abroad, they couldn't take the dog with them, so it was given to someone they know. Lately though, that friend hasn't had much time for the dog due to being swamped with work, as well as other things, so she was asking Mom if she would take him in. Jill (I think that's her name) was coming to collect him yesterday, and I had to tell her that we would keep him, if she'd like. She said that she would miss him if he stayed here, and after a little bit of talking, said that she would leave him with us for another two weeks to see how things will work out.

It's sad. She seemed a little upset to be letting him go, and didn't appear to be sure if she really wanted to. I suppose she will if he enjoys it here and if we're completely happy to keep him because she doesn't appear to have the time she needs to look after him. He was quite big when he came to us a week ago, but lost a bit of weight because we could exercise him, something she hasn't been able to do, due to her job.
