Expanding

Meet the latest addition to our family – here’s Duke:

Ain’t he cute? We adopted him last weekend. We were told he’s a miniature pinscher/rat terrier mix, and we think that’s probably about right. He’s VERY sweet. Unfortunately, he doesn’t appear to be totally housetrained yet, or in the very least we just have him quite off schedule. Oh, and our other dog, Annie, doesn’t like him, which is most unfortunate. She’s gradually warming up – but by warming up, I mean going from Polar-Icecap-Cold to a nice Minnesota winter…he plays like a pup should, and that’s a lot of her issues…not to mention I suspect she’s a bit jealous.

But – he’s sweet and he’s great with the boys. Monkey LOVES Duke…and Duke immediately took to him, and the Bear too. He curls up with Monkey at bedtime to read stories…he’s basically interested in everything the Monkey does.

And who else in Tennessee enjoyed the weather the past couple of days? We spent a ton of time outside – I hope everyone else enjoyed the weather as much as we did!
