Alexander's Super Duke

Today we surprised the boys with a trip to Cedaridge.  Sherman and I have been talking about getting another dog but haven't really pursued it. Then he called me today wanting to go see a Golden Retriever ("a good bird hunting dog").  Right after work we loaded them up. We didn't tell the boys where we were going but we did talk to them about how to act when you meet some you new: polite,calm,quiet, patience. We got to the house and they invited everyone in so the boys lined up on the coach. They brought the dog in and the boys all got excited, petting him and loving him (Annalyn was more interested in the cat...not happening). He was very calm and cool while they were all over him. Then we asked them if they would like to bring him home. "YES!!!!!", they all shouted.

Yep, I'm a sucker for big, brown, droopy eyes.  So here we are with a new member to the family and a friend for Jake. Such a pretty boy.
