Welcome Starbuck!

Well, here is our little Starbuck! Ruh went and picked her up yesterday. She is a lab/german shepherd mix. I really didn't want a puppy with the baby coming but she is pretty cute and very sweet. Ruh is very excited to have his dog now. Having a laundry room makes a perfect place for her at night since we can close the door and it has lanoleum floor for any little accidents. So far I have been able to prevent too many accidents by taking her outside often. I am the kind of person who thinks large dogs belong outside. So once she is big enough she will be heading outside! The cat has been hiding in the bedrooms since last night and every once in a while she will come out, meow at me to give her a scratch behind the ears, and then head back to one of the rooms. I think eventually she will come around. :)
