Our Newest Family Member

Saturday night my mom called and said she needed help catching some puppies dumped by her house that were near the highway. Don't get me started on that subject! Jerks. I send hubby to help since he could get there more quickly and wouldn't you know it, he fell in love. A friend is taking the other pup home on Christmas Eve for his kiddos. She looks like a German Shepard mix. A bit timid at first, she is romping around the house getting into a little bit of mischief today.

On the left is Zach and Seargent Pepper, our one year old dog. On the right is Max and our new puppy, Rigby.
Max wants to carry her around and she is too big for that. In fact she is almost as big as Sarge, a cocker spaniel dachhound mix, or cocktail weinie as we like to call him.


Isn't she sweet? Now I just have to get her to the vet and all that.

What´s up with puppies these days?
We went to have dinner with friends and they just got a beautiful cocker spaniel for their daugther. I am not a dog person, but I felt in love with Kika (their dog).

I like dogs. I don't like the Beetles. But I won't hold that against you.

Very, very cute. And gonna be big, big, big! Look at those tootsies!
Thank goodness ya'll were able to rescue them.
Some people really suck. I don't know how anyone could dump an animal, much less a defenseless puppy.
Good luck and... well, get a really big pooper scooper!
;)

Oh what fun! (oh yeah on the other subject THAT IS TERRIBLE!!!) All of our "kiddos" are rescued- the cats from the KS humane society and Regan from an unwanted litter (thank GOD they didn't just throw Regan's litter out-we would have never had her! We drove 2 hrs from Wichita to get her -friend of a friend told us about this unwanted/unplanned litter)

She is the cutest little thing I ever did see.

Well, my grammar is not the best, but I just had to say it.

I love, love, love puppies.
