Life and Stuff

Last week I recevied a new addition to my growing family!  A wonderful little puppy named Gumby!!  He is a lab and golden retreiver mix, and seems to fit in just great with my four children and two other dogs!  Already he is learning to use the doggie door, which is great because it means I don’t have to let him out every hour.  He also is learning to grasp the idea of sitting and staying, and yesterday we went out for our first walk on a leash.  Though I had to carry him part of the way, it was still very enjoyable.  That is, at least it was until the dog down the road decided to try and play with us.  We think he was an abused dog, and is not used to playing around other animals. Hopefully, he will warm up to people and new places soon, with the proper training and lots of love!
