"Somebody get this walking carpet out of my way!" Princess Leia







Meet Chewbacca...
We just picked out our new mutt, got him from the pound.  Don't let his size fool you, he is only 10 months old!  He is so cute and sweet but has a lot of puppy in him.  We picked him out Friday afternoon and Brett was not very happy as he was hoping for a yellow lab.  But just look at that face, how can you not fall in love?  He has grown on us all, except the cats, we'll give it some more time and hope that at some point they will put him in his place and he'll stop thinking they are running toys.  So far he has been really good to have around.  He is great on a leash, likes other dogs and got a clean bill of health from the vet (except for an ear infection) so we just need him to work out his desire for cat fur and we'll be great.  He needs some training but seems to be catching on to the few things we have taught him already, like his name.
Shandi came to see him today and fell instantly in love with him, and him with her.  He is starting to feel more comfortable and is being more playful, when we first got him home he was quite unsure of what was going on and was fooling us that he would always be this mellow sweet dog.  We know better now, he likes to chew on us so his nick-name is Chewy.  He especially likes our toes for some reason, it must be the toe jam.  We're glad to have a dog back in our home and although he will never take the place of out sweet Brigham he does make it a little easier to come in the door knowing there is a "walking carpet" waiting for us inside.  Welcome home Chewy!

Oh, I can't wait to meet Chewy, he looks like a Sweetie. I will miss having Brigham try to climb up in my lap whenever I come over!
