Tux joins our family



We have a new addition to our family. On a recent trip to the city for our anniversary, Jim and I went to look for a dog. We found our perfect guy at one of the shelters. We have named him Tux, short for tuxedo. From this picture you can see why. He is adapting well to his new home. On our first trip to the beach, he immediately jumped into the water. I am looking forward to swimming with him next summer. It has been a good decision to adopt an adult dog. No puppy training! He has all the basic training skills already and loves to please. He also loves to hug and cuddle. Which can be pretty awesome with this 85 lb. dog! Now we have to work on getting our cat Dusty to warm up to him. She is very wary and has stayed upstairs most of the time since we brought Tux home.
So what did you get for your anniversary? Why, a doggie!
