Our daughter at the airport, telling me she wasn't tired:

Making Briarius laugh:


Making himself at home!

Now I have to go back and read the rest. Is this relevant?

[LynzM]

6. I don't know about that....

Kelev is Hebrew for 'dog'... we got him from a friend who is Jewish!

5. Congrats!

He looks like he's fitting in well and happy to be in such a loving home. :hi:

[LynzM]

8. Thanks, hippywife!

He is such a sweetheart, and so relaxed and happy... he's sleeping next to me in bed right now! :loveya:

[LynzM]

11. I'm kicking this because the lounge needs

to realize that cute as they are, kittens ain't the nly cute things in the world! :hi:

Anja is a beautiful name. One of my best friends in college was a girl named Anja.

[LynzM]

12. Thanks eyepaddle!

I do love me some kittens, but we've really been looking forward to getting this dog, as well! Our friend in Chicago loves him to death, but he needs more space to run than they can give him now... so he is coming to enjoy our backyard!

Thanks, on Anja's name, too :)

13. Pooch!

He and I are going to have some fun when we visit you guys. If he's at that chewing stage, I'll even let him eat my hand. Pups like doing that, and most people won't let them do it because they can feel the bites.

14. You guys can definitely play :)

Though he's 8 (years, not months), so I'm guessing he's past the chewing ;) Still, he loves some belly-scratching and running outside! :bounce:

15. Aww so cute :D)

[LynzM]

16. Thanks, DanCa!

I agree! :)

[LynzM]

17. Kick for cuteness!

:bounce:

18. What a lucky dog!

Retirement home with a loving family. It doesn't get any better.

[LynzM]

19. That's the plan!

He really needed more space to run and play than they could give him where he was, so now he has lots of access to that in our backyard! :bounce: He *really* wanted to go out and try to eat squirrels this morning!

[lizziegrace]

20. Here's a picture of my retiree

He passed away over 2 years ago, but he was my joy. Mine was his retirement home for 4 years. (He was nine when I brought him home)

[LynzM]

21. Oh, what a sweetheart!

What a beautiful dog! I love his coat...

[lizziegrace]

22. I hope your dog brings you as much joy

and unconditional love as my guy did!

[LynzM]

23. Thank you!

:) I hope so, too!
