Our new furry family member

For the past few months we have been entertaining the thought of getting a dog. We all wanted one, but were not sure if it was the right thing being that we have such a small yard. Well when the reality of Joey deploying some time in the near future hit us, I decided that I would feel better having a big barking replacement to help protect us while he is away. So, Joey gave in and we headed to the shelter. We knew we wanted a big dog, young enough to train, old enough to be over chewing everything... around a year old would be good. We soon came home with our new pup Sharkbait. She was adorable and so quiet, very afraid and a pretty girl. Sadly on her third day with us we had to call Animal Control to pick her up when she went growling, snarling crazy at both Joey and Annabella. We were sad and put off the idea of a dog for a while... or a month anyway. Joey came across someone who was looking for a new home for their 1 yr old chocolate lab, and the rest is history. Junebug is our new furry family member. She is a typical chocolate lab who will do anything for a little ear scratch or tummy rub, she fetches anything even from under water and loves to swim. She is a sweet girl who gets along well with other dogs and Annabella (who proudly calls herself a good big sister to her dog). We are glad to have her!
