Introducing....

Sammy! Meet our newest addition to our family! Sammy is a 10 week old Lab-Australian Shepherd mix that we adopted today.

We didn't have any clue when we got up this morning that our day would end this way. But we did plan to go to PetsMart...we go on Saturdays as often as possible to visit the dogs. We've talked about getting another dog-a real DOG-as opposed to the 14 year old Pomeranian who doesn't know she's a dog-dog. So...one thing led to another, and before we knew it, we were signing papers and buying a crate and dog bed and toys!

He is a sweetheart! He is a little shy, and very well behaved. He seems to be really smart and will hopefully be very easy to train.

Abby, the Pom, thinks we are nuts. Maybe we are. She is doing her best to ignore him, which he doesn't understand. He would like to play, but she says NO. Overall, though, they are both adjusting pretty well. So far. We'll see how much sleep we get tonight!
From what we understand, he's been growing like a weed, so I don't think he'll be this small for long. Also...look closely...HE HAS NO TAIL!!! Isn't that a hoot?? Isn't he a doll?
Here he is meeting Abby. As you can see, Abby wasn't really interested in making his acquaintance. We will keep everyone posted on our doggie progress!

Welcome to the world of Labs (even a lab mix allows you to be in their world!) I hope Abby is aware that she will no longer be the queen bee, labs will steal your heart and take over your home. Our Molly is actually our grand-dog, but she has lived with us since lendon moved to Memphis 6 years ago! Molly allows us to live in her 3 bedroom, 2bath kennel. she is soooo thoughtful! Hope you slept well last night!
Teach 4 ever!
