A new addition to the family

Todd and Laura got a puppy! She's about the sweetest little thing you ever saw - her name is Dillon and she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, about 9 weeks old. By the looks of her paws, she's going to be quite a large addition to the family. (They look pretty thrilled with her, don't they?)

They have been busy with their new house - painting, replacing fixtures and finishes and generally working to make it their own - but when the perfect dog suddenly became available they took that plunge too. I wish them luck - training a dog on top of all the work they already do is going to be a challenge. (Being a cat person, myself... cats being really beyond all possibility of training... I'm rather looking forward to hearing my son coax his new little one to 'go make poopie' and all that other stuff.)

Ridgebacks are huge, awesome dogs. They need a ton of exercise or they'll eat your couch but they are super smart and loyal and they look really cool. Congrats to Todd and Laura!

Aww, it's so cute! One of our friends here has a Ridgeback and I think he's bigger than me. =) His paws are so huge he looks like a cartoon.
