Our new dog

Jake and Duke playing after we decided to keep him.

We got a new dog! A black lab strayed into our yard a little over a month ago, and he was so sweet we decided to "rescue" him. Actually, we waited a day, and he continued to stay by our house. He is such a sweet dog, and he know sit, stay, as well as silent hand commands. I finally found his owner, and he asked us if we wanted to keep him. He had to move to Kansas City into an apartment, and he couldn't keep Duke. Duke is so great with the kids, and we were already talking about getting a second dog. We are all so excited! It is nice to have a dog that wants to play with the kids. Cupcake is more like a cat. She only wants to have something to do with the kids on her terms.
