for long-awaited photos and family updates! - Going to the Dogs Edition

At the beginning of June, we added a new member to our household. She was born on April 13 - I'm not sure what she weighed or how long she was *smile*, but she sure is cute!!! Ms. Lydia is a Yellow Lab and quite the ham!

Lydia, One Month Later


She has brought real joy to our family. She is a very mellow dog - well, mellow for a puppy. She is very smart - how many other puppies do you know that can drink out of a cup with a straw at 12 weeks? Okay, so she was just chewing on a straw that was in a cup she nabbed off our patio table - but she is learning! She knows sit and stay, for the most part. She doesn't bark - which is why we finally had to get rid of our old dog. She also LOVES the water...another big plus for a family that likes to go to the lake!

The kids are all excited to have a 'big dog' - and Troy looks forward to the day when she is big enough to join him and his riding partner for the day on some trail rides.
