Our new addition

For those who don't know, Carynn and I were awaiting the arrival of our new family member just over a week ago. We were planning and ready to adopt a little Cairn Terrier into our family only to have it end in disappointment. The day before we were supposed to go pick her up we were informed that one of the puppies she was living with came down with parvo, a very bad disease for puppies, and they had to keep a two week watch on our future puppy to see if she would come down with any of the symptoms and so they could treat her. We waited the two weeks only to receive the bad news that she did contract the virus and didn't make it. It was a sad time for us but turned out alright in the end. We were lucky enough to find another Cairn Terrier and were able to pick her up and she couldn't be a sweeter puppy. We have had her not even a week now and we have loved every minute having her in our little family.
So say hello to Penny, our nine week old little puppy :)

Mom told me that you guys got a puppy. She is so cute! I told Maycee, and she can't wait to meet her.

Oh. My. Gosh. So very cute. (although very sad story about the Parvo!! I think I cried a little...) Our boy Shep would eat that puppy for breakfast! Ha! Just kidding! When are you two (or three...) coming down to visit Zion?? Free vacation! We miss you!
