One Girl Goes, Another Comes

Surprise!



What is the surprise, you may ask? Well, it's that, well, it was just too lonely having one girl fewer around here, so we got another. (Not the frog; THAT was caught in the pool and soon sent to the pond, after a brief photo op.) No, the new girl in our family is named Kate. She has brown eyes and black hair, weighs about fifty pounds by my estimate, and likes to exercise.

Kate is a dog.

She came with the name; if she hadn't, we wouldn't have named her that (not because we don't like the name, but because we DO.) We got her from some friends of ours from the church who live about ten minutes away from our house. They had had Kate the Dog for about three quarters of a year (she's a year old) when they found that a member of their family was allergic to her. So now we have a free dog with free kennel service. Is that nice or is that nice!?!?!!?!

The best thing about Kate the Dog is that she is very VERY good with kids. If she wasn't we probably wouldn't have accepted her. Duncan actually enjoys holding the leash while the dog trots around our long wrap-around porch.

Here is a picture of her for your benefit:

Frog looks cool. Dog looks very cool.
You either have a way of finding neat animals, or you are taking neat pictures.
