Emmitt!

As if you thought we'd last long without another pet...



Here is Emmitt.

A beautiful (now 9.5 week old) black lab mix. Likely mixed with a Black Mouth Cur. He is adorable and so lazy - a great change from hyperactive Murphy. We adopted him from the Dallas Animal Shelter's setup at a local Petsmart. We took Elayne and set her down on the floor with all five from the litter and reduced the amount puppy-by-puppy until we decided on Emmitt. Yes his name is short for Emmitt Smith - we name our animals after professional athletes in our house (David Murphy, Derek Holland, Emmitt Smith, etc.

Elayne loves dogs. Like loooooooves them. It's crazy how excited and happy she gets around them. She makes a sound we've never made her make before. It's adorable. Which is why we decided to get us her a puppy. Yay for new family additions!

He loves Elayne. So patient with her and she loves grabbing his face, fur, and tail. They are truly a match and I can't wait to see them grow together and form that wonderful bond.
