the newest member of the family

We got a surprise on Friday. On his way home from work, Richard stopped off and brought us a new family member.

This is Lucky:






He is 31/2 months old, and is a shepard mix. He is a puppy and therefore a little wild, but it seems like his temperment will be a little on the mellow side when he matures. His paws are big, and we are wondering if he will grow up to be a BIG dog!

Emily, of course, is totally in love with her new puppy.
Emily and Lucky:







Evie is not too sure of Lucky. She likes to throw his toys for him, and kiss him on the nose, and yell at him. Sometimes he gets a little too wild, and she gets a little scared. We do have a big problem in that he seems magnetically drawn to stuffed animals, Muh and MoMo in particular. We have been trying very hard to keep Evie's bedroom door shut to keep her toys safe.
