...and then there were five.

Bill and I welcomed the fifth, and long-awaited, member of our family this month!  We are pleased to introduce to you...

Dora the Explorer



Dora is very excited to meet you!!  She is running over at full speed to give you kisses and jump in your lap!



And now, Dora is insisting that she get to tell you all about herself - she's very independent at times...

Yay, it's my turn!  Mommy and Daddy don't usually let me near the computers, but I promised I would be really careful and not slobber on the buttons.  

I live in the bestest dog house ever!  I have a big fluffy pillow to sleep on, and squeaky toys and balls and bones to chew on, and fuzzy big brothers to chase around and try to sniff, and lots of love all the time!  I am part yellow lab (that's what mommy says), so I get really excited about my favorite things.  

Daddy gave me a birthday (August 22), so that means I am almost 3 months old!  I am learning so much, and I love to show mom and dad how smart I am. I already know how to sit, come, eat, go outside, and "stop it".  That last one is hard.

I don't remember very much before I lived here, but mom says I came from a sad place in New Mexico where I wasn't safe.  Some really nice people came and saved me, and now I get to grow up with mom and dad and Beaner and Goose.  Hooray!

Yesterday white fluffy stuff was falling from the sky.  When we went outside to play, it was on the ground and it was cold!  I stuck my nose in it, and it made me sneeze!  But then I started running and jumping and sticking my face in the white stuff - it is so much fun!  Dad says it's called snow.  Mom threw snow balls for me to fetch, but I had a hard time finding them.  I just ate a lot of snow.  But I think snow is my favorite thing.  Mom and Dad took some pictures; I hope they aren't too embarrassing!


...Darn it.  I'm gonna go sleep now.
