Happy Birthday Capone

Well, I know I still need to post about some things like harvest, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. Maybe I'll try to post that stuff... but in light of that fact that I'm only saying that to make myself feel better and it probably won't happen, I will give you the here and now. We have a child now! A very cute 4 legged one! It seems as though the natural yearnings to nurture could not be ignored any longer in Jeff! He gave me a puppy for Christmas complete with a bow! It was really cute! Although to be fair I was a little um, well, unhappy? So, maybe that's an understatement since Jeff now chants the mantra "Hell hath no fury like an angry woman!" ........Anyway, I have since fallen in love with the little guy and learned that Jeff is the Dog Whisperer. It's really amazing! I've never seen anything like it. So I am learning from him and since he's finally potty trained it's fun having a little fur ball around. He's a Coton De Tulear, non-shedder, will be 10-12 lbs, it's a boy, he is four months old today. And we realize the terrible complex a boy fluff ball could potentially have so we gave him a very tough name; Capone like Al Capone the 1930s gangster who stayed on Alcatraz and died of syphilis. He's freaking cute and already knows a lot of commands like crate, bed, sit, stay, lay down, stay up, and shake we're working on roll over and freeze now.
