Well it is not as if I don't have enough to do already BUT we now have a puppy named Taz!
The story behind Taz....
Our next door neighbors, the Castro's, took in a beautiful Golden Retriever named Sammy. Sammy was not at a good home and Ms. Besty can't say no! So Sammy came to live on Mylls Ct. I came home for work one day and was chatting with Mr. Henry (Castro) and another neighbor when Henry asked if I wanted a puppy, not knowing what had happened I said "why who the heck is having puppies" he replied "Sammy DID!" The night before as Betsy was in the kitchen she looked over and saw that Sammy had something near her....thinking it was something she brought in from outside so she went to check it out.....it was a puppy! 5 puppies later Sammy was a mommy!
Well after watching the puppies grow and seeing them everyday both the kids and I were attached so at about 12 weeks old Taz came home to live with us. He is a lab/retriever mix. At 16 weeks he is currently 47 lbs so he will be a large dog which is fine by me since I am used to Rotts. Taz is fitting in well and although his hyper puppiness gets the best of him sometimes he is listening very well. He will sit, lay and stay (sometimes!). He LOVES playing with our youngest cat Morgan and dragging him around, Morgan usually does not mind but DOES finally let Taz know when he has had enough! The kids get a little frustrated with Taz when he is hyper and jumping but they are learning to deal with him and command him so slowly but surely we are getting there.
