Might as well confess...

Last Friday Dylan and I were on our way out the back door and he said, "mommy I see a puppy". He pointed over to the corner of our back porch and sure enough was a little black and rust puppy shivering and obviously hungry. I woke Shane up and told him about it so he could deal with it.

I got back and asked if it had run off. It was very scared. No, he took it in and gave it water and some ham and we were going to figure out where to take it. But Shane wanted to keep him. We knew it might belong to someone though. We were moving so he took it to his friend's office where it oculd at least be warm and eat and we bought him some food and a collar and toy to play with. We read the paper, we looked for signs, nothing. So he brought him home that night and he slept in our bathroom and was incredibly sweet and calm and quiet. He really took to us and the love we offered. Shane named him "Hogan" after the golfer Ben Hogan. We have been looking for an owner if he belongs to anyone, but we've found no one claiming to miss a beautiful 2 month old Rottweiler. So he's our's. He has a new back yard at our new house and he comes in at night in the laundry room to sleep. He stays on his blankey and is very good with Dylan. He's healthy too. He's been checked.

He's no trouble for us because he's outside and even inside, he's sweet. But we have too much unpacking to do to let him in very much. We know he will be huge, but he'll be a great outside dog and companion. So we adopted a puppy on Friday. ANd we love him.

I love his name and wish you the best with him. It is impressive that he will spend time outside without "complaining."

Send us pictures - we want to see the new house, the new dog and you!!

I will. I'll get it decorated soon after we are on our feet from the new job and I'll take pics of the house, Hogan and I guess my big ol belly.
