We have a new addition to our family

This is our new addition to the family! Her name is Chessie, she is a yellow lab.
I had to give her a bath to get rid of all her fleas! She did a great job and didn't fuss any!
I can't believe Calixto finally gave in and got us a pet. He has been very anti-pet! He secretly bought her a few weeks ago and picked her up today. He surprised the kids and then surprised me with her. She is so sweet right now...I hope she stays that way! I know we have a lot of work ahead of us...but, what fun!!!

CALIXTO...what has happened to you...I WILL NEVER GET A DOG..I guess you can't say NEVER>>what is next a cat..HAHA..the baby is so cute right now but how will it be later????BUT now you will know when someone comes in the back door and robs you.
Calixto you picked out a beautiful puppy for the FIRST (of many) time to get a pet HAHA Now tell the truth do you let it go to sleep in your arms?????
Christopher and Catherine now you have a big job ahead of you...feeding..walking ...cleaning up after...playing with..and just loving the puppy....Plus finding someone to feed and water it when you want to go to Mexico and NJ..

Congratulations!!! She looks like our puppy when she was little! Yes, there are rough days ahead, no doubt... but it will be worth it in the end.

Let's see... this past month our dog got permanant marker on our new rug...ate a pair of sandals... and one glove...dwindled the toy soldier supply by about half...and now we have no front seat belt or leather on the passenger side of our van... but hey, we love her! ")

I have great memories of growing up with dogs!

Calixto,

I could have sold you a Black Lab real cheap! Labs are great dogs with kids but oh how they chew on everything.

How cute! Enjoy!

Uncle Lew, when "London" didn't work out for us... we lovingly passed her on to mom and dad!! Maybe this puppy has a future with you?

Oh, how adorable!!!! Makes me want to just reach out and pet him! Sounds like a wonderfully well behaved dog. :-)
