New Addition to the Family

And NO, it's not a baby ;)
My friend called me on Saturday to tell me she had picked up a stray wondering in the middle of the street, but couldn't keep it. So we brought the whole gang over there on Sunday night to see how the little ones would get along. The boys loved her, and she came home with us!!
We still haven't named her, so right now we just call her puppy. As yet she has not had an accident in the house, knock on wood, and has been great about playing outside.
Much to our excitement she doesn't bark, or run out the front door, in fact we are of the opinion that she is quite a lazy dog! Perhaps thats just the puppy in her that needs a lot of sleep still. Benjamin and Puppy have fun playing with the dog next door as well....
We are not sure what kind of dog she is, so most of us are guessing Retriever mix with Pointer or Pit Bull. Any thoughts???
Alex bought her lots of treats at the store today. He even let me get a pink collar with BLING!!! But would not let me buy the matching pink leash :( Well, he said he would never walk the dog if I did....

What a cute puppy! Lazy may be a good thing- beats a hyper dog who drive you nuts. But she may just be on her best behaviour because she's in a new environment, and/or hungry and tired. Wonder how long they were wandering? She's so lucky to have ended up in a wonderful home. Have fun!!!

She is such a cute puppy! Maybe in the far future (like when my youngest child is in school) we'll think about getting a puppy. :)
