Good bye to an old friend, hello to a new one!

So much has happened in the 5 weeks since the last post. The most notable is we had to put our beloved Maggie to sleep two weeks ago. She was diagnosed with liver and spleen cancer and we made the decision not to prolong her life. She was a very devoted friend and we miss her dearly.

A week ago Saturday, Java came bounding into our life. We rescued him from the Currituck, NC animal shelter. He's a 3 year old Chocolate Lab. He was neglected and abused hunting dog. He's is a giant mush and amazing with the girls. He's getting used to the house. It took him about 4 days to learn how to get up the stairs. He loves sleeping in his bed and he's finally figured out how to get on the couch!
