New Edition to Our Family!

Well as you can see we have a new edition to our family. The kids have been begging for a new dog since our Min Pin died. They have stated emphatically that they will take care of feeding, watering and picking up any landmines the dog leaves in the yard. Wills' family always had a dog when he was growing up and he's a sucker for anything Marian wants so he finally caved in. So after alot of looking we finally found one that meet the requirements. One, it had to be a breed we liked and two it had to be cheap. She is two months old and seems to be pretty smart. Like your typical puppy (or baby for that matter), if she can reach something it's fair game for being chewed on.
~Sparky giving the puppy the HooDoo Voodoo Eye aka the Stink Eye~ Sparky has been our house cat for almost 2 years now. My kids brought him home when they found him half dead on the side of the road. (Remember I said Will is a sucker when the little princess makes a request) Sparky thinks he is the king of all he sees so he can be a little tyrant at times. Kind of a miniaturized, furry Darth Vader if you will, so we were a little concerned about how he would react with the puppy. He actually did pretty good. In typical cat fashion he ignores the puppy until she goes to sleep then he comes sniffing around. Obviously the peasants can't see that the king might be curious! My guess is that it won't be long before they are putting the smackdown on each other.


We still don't have a name at this point. We'll have to see what her personality is like before we can come up with the appropriate name.

We are so excited for the boys to come home from Nevada on Sunday. They do not know so it will be a big surprise. Plus our bomb technicians already have landmines in the back yard that need defusing. It will be good to have a dog back in our family.
