We now have a new member of the family - Vince Lombardi. (My husband, a Packer fan, named him) He was supposed to be an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix but everyone who sees him, including our vet, thinks he's a St. Bernard mix.
Only crazy people get a puppy in the winter. There's no joy like taking a puppy out to pee at 3am when it is below zero. But, I'm seeing a lot more of the moon and stars than I usually do and I appreciate the wonderful quiet in the middle of the night outside.
And I'll try to post a little sooner next time!
