Another New Addition

Meet Oreo. This is our little La-chon (lhasa apso/ bichon frieze mix). He is 8 weeks old and is very sweet. The kids have just fallen in love with him (well, really at first sight.) It has been a busy last few days. He joined our home on Thursday evening, so the past few days have been spent house training. He is doing pretty good, I must say. We are also kennel training him and working on "sit." He is playful and funny to watch. The other night he was being a ferocious beast trying to rip apart his little chew toy. We got a good laugh out of that. I look forward to him growing up with the kids. I think he will make a good playmate and friend for them.

New Member of the Family

After Scales died, we decided that we would put off a new Beta until we returned from Germany. Noleigh picked out our new fish and Hiram named him "Pirate." So this is the newest addition to our family. Welcome, Pirate! I think Noleigh did a good job. He's very beautiful, the coloring is blues and greens with reds and purples around the edges. We have had reds and pinks before so this is a nice change!
