The McLaughlin Menagerie Expands Again!

It's semi-official now - we have a new member of the family! We took our "potential" dog Marley for a test drive this weekend and we all fell in love (the dog seems to love us too). We were supposed to take him back Sunday night, and he's still here. The original plan was that we weren't going to take him for good until the middle of July or so (his current owner is moving to Mexico at the end of July). We've all bonded so much that I don't want him to leave us (and he's eating up the twice-a-day walking and ball throwing sessions we're giving him - he was only being walked once or twice a week at his old house).






Here's a couple of pics of our new doggie (he's a shepherd-lab cross, and yes, he is LARGE).
















How can you not love that face??








Well, that's all the update I have time for right now! Stay tuned for the scoop on our Watkins Glen camping trip - as soon as I get a chance I'll upload some pics.

What a great face!! We adopted an older dog two years ago and that was one of the best things we've ever done. Yeah, she's pretty deaf now, and she can't see well either, but she's HAPPY here, and we're happy having her here =)

Here's wishing many happy days for your family and Marley.
