PBJ

It's official. Our new puppy has been named Pippin Beethoven James.

Pippin is Brad's choice, because it is the name of a mischievous hobbit from Lord of the Rings.

Beethoven is Kilian's choice, because he likes the movie about a much bigger dog.

We'll throw in the last name, just so the initials are funny.

Also, rest in peace Sparkles and Freckles. We really enjoyed each and every one of our 46 hours with you. We also feel that since you were so special to us, you cannot be replaced. We will not be taking advantage of the 14 day goldfish guarantee that PetSmart offers.

Seriously

Could


he

be

any

cuter?

We found one. He shall remain nameless for now...

Change of plans

I think I made a mistake by talking all week about our plans to go find a dog today. I was a little disappointed in the selection at an adoption event in town. Is it too much to ask for a kid-friendly, housebroken, tiny little bitty, lab mix mutt, just like the one we found almost 9 years ago?? Maybe so. We miss you, Pandora.

We actually want a smaller one this time. No luck yet. So this is what we ooohed and aaaahed over tonight instead of a puppy.

Meet Sparkles and Freckles.
