Tatum (Yorkie) had been our only fur-child until we finally moved into our new house (in the country). Now we have two new kittens, Patches and Tessa, and this weekend our baby Australian Shepherd comes home! My husband is just beside himself with anticipation. He's been wanting his own "big dog" for so long and now can finally have a place for it. It's amazing though what a great daddy he's been to Tatum and to our first dog, Dax (poodle). He just has always wanted an outdoor dog to work cattle with him and all those other macho things.

We have yet to decide on a name for her but will have it pinned down hopefully by Sunday when we get her. My husband likes "Bandit" (which I keep telling him is a BOY's name) and I like Zoey. We'll see....
