Welcome to our family!

Since Mike isn't ready to have another human child yet we have adopted a canine child instead. This is Apollo, like the Greek god. The name is appropriate since he has little dog syndrome, and he is the newest addition to our family. He is 4 1/2 months old and has as much energy as our kids. We are hoping they all wear each other out. He is very smart and already knows a bunch of commands like sit and shake and best of all, he is already potty trained. We have fallen in love with the little guy already, how can you not, just look at those eyes. The kids are beside themselves with glee. They are so excited that if they were dogs there would be little puddles all over the house if you know what I mean. He is acclimating to our house well and we are very happy to have him.

very cute Kim! Just hope for your sake it doesn't fill the void completely! I still have my fingers crossed for you!

We'll have to set up a doggy play date for Apollo and Hans. Greta (a.k.a. the Drama Queen) has been too much of a princess lately & won't play because of the cold.
