Well, the New Year is off and running and our house is full of extra excitement and activity thanks to a new little addition to the family. His name is Sport and he is cute, cuddly, mischievous and well...a little naughty. With all that said, check this little guy out.

He is a Chihuahua/Jack Russel mix and we are in love. We were lucky to find him on Petfinder.com (an organization that rescues "pound puppies" and other animals and places them in foster homes until they are adopted.) We went to meet him on New Years Eve and it was meant to be. After signing the papers, he rode home with us on Ember's lap smiling and wagging the whole way. I'm beginning to think he might just make a good trucking companion for someone I know. LOL!

As you can see, Ember is especially fond of him.

And Sport has made himself right at home :)

I think dogs are a lot like kids....they're even cuter when they're asleep!

And in case you didn't notice in the previous pics,
we cut Ember's hair on a whim.
It was my idea and Ember decided to go along with it.
This is BEFORE
During
And After
She loves it and so do I.
I just wonder what took us so long to do it.
We could have saved a lot of frustration over the years with all the tangles.

P.S. O. K., Jessica if you reading this...don't look too close! I know the right front looks a little longer but it's really not, it just looks that way...promise! What can I say, my kids are so trusting. That's really a good thing. They have lots of Faith!
Maybe I'm a little over confident with the scissors, but don't tell them that!
