Introducing....

...the newest member of the family....



...the one...



...the only...



Baker!



Anna started asking for a puppy for Christmas.  Of course, our response was, "Absolutely not!"  But then Earl got bit by the puppy bug.  And I said, "Absolutely not!"  Fortunately, he agreed.  So we started stalking Craigslist and looking at all the dogs coming and going.  A trip through PetFinder revealed the Kentucky Lab Rescue.  We filled out the application, were approved, and made the trek to Winchester where we met this handsome guy, amoung others.  Baker impressed us with his great manners and labby good looks so we decided to take the plunge into dog ownership.  Assuming his gas doesn't do us all in first, I hope it will be a pleasant experience.  I think adding a dog to the family is a far scarier experience than adding another kid.

Anyway, Baker is a one year old fox red Dudley lab.  He lacks pigment in his face so his nose and eye rims are reddish pink.  It doesn't mean anything except he can't be shown (not an issue) and he may be prone to getting his nose sunburnt. 

So far he's been a very good boy.  No accidents, no jumping, no barking, very little chewing...hopefully it will continue!

  1. Good Luck!!!! He is adorable :) Ryan started asking for a sister and that's when he got his kitten Mia. We've had her for 3 months and all has gone well.
