You Don't See That Every Day

It has been a year since we got this pup. And this is what she looked like back then. And here she is now. We've learned a lot about puppies, and how much they chew and dig and stink and jump. But she is such a great running companion now, and she keeps our other mutt in shape.

This dog is where most of my time and energy have been focused lately. This cute little stinker has most of us wrapped around her paw. This puppy is helping us readjust our schedules. (She sleeps so weird)
