New Addition!

So this post doesn't actually pertain to the physical structure of the house itself, but rather to those who live in it. We got a puppy! She is cute as a button and no, she doesn't have a name just yet. We are working on it. Her mother is a black lab and her father is a champion cattle herding Catahoula hound (state dog of LA). She and her siblings (I'm told there were 4 altogether) are the result of a hook-up at a social function for the owners of her parents. Her mother weighs in around 50 lbs and her father around 60-70. Hopefully she will be smaller than either of them *not holding breath* but we'll just have to wait and see. I am going to start a photo album for her.


Suggestions for names are welcome. She's active and likes to chew everything and is quickly learning what she she is allowed to chew on and what she is not. She loves playing outside and especially chewing on leaves, grass, and anything she can find. We are working on the house breaking thing and that's going okay. Right before we got her she learned to retrieve and can do that pretty well (for a 7 week old, come on...). She seems pretty smart.
She says "rwoo rwoo rwoo"

How 'bout Chewbacca as a name, you could call her Chewie. It sounds like it would fit, given her apparent chewing fascination.

That is going to be a big puppy, if the size of her feet are any indication. Better get the shovel out because big dogs mean big shit.
