Our NEW Puppy!

We are very proud to introduce our newest family member... our chocolate lab, JED! Bet none of you saw that coming, did ya? We had decided not to get one of the Cook family's puppies... until Brian went over there and saw them. He called me to let me know that one of the puppies ran over to him and kissed him, and that he was to be ours!! I happened to be near the pet store, so I stopped and bought a collar for Jed, so we could identify him when we got back from Maine. He was the kids' surprise when we got back... of course we couldn't wait to pick him up- so the night we came home, Brian went out to the store to buy milk and puppy food and picked him up on the way back home. He's been quite a handful- at least he was the first couple of nights- until we got his new crate! Labs are prone to chewing until they're three years old... that's a LOT of shoes!!!! He's got the potty thing down pretty well, and we've stocked up on the chew toys! He follows Hooch everywhere and they play really well together! We told Hooch that this was his baby, and that he needed to teach him how to be a good dog- just like him! Hopefully it'll work!
