Meet Bear LeBlanc

Our first family picture together. We are at the Newcomb's home picking up Bear! Look at how big his feet are!
What a precious little face.








Here is Mary Lindsey playing this evening. I was trying my hardest to get some cute pictures of her and Bear together. Neither one of them were having it. She would rather read her book!




Ok...as if life at the LeBlanc house was not about to get crazy enough, we decided to go completely insane and get a puppy. Not just any puppy mind you, we decided to get a BIG puppy. In fact, I have never in my life seen or heard of a 5 1/2 week old puppy being as big as our new puppy is. His name is Bear (I think quite fitting!) and he is a German Shepherd. He already weighs 12 pounds! Can you believe that! I will say that he is a very good tempered dog. Right now he really just sleeps and eats. He has done all of his business outside today which I have been very pleased about. We got him a small crate to sleep in, and believe it or not he really likes his crate. He has already taken 2 naps in his crate and even when he wakes up it takes him a while to cry to get let out. Now, you also have to take into account that there is a very active 10 month old crawling around and making lots of noise. I think it is safe to say Mary Lindsey makes him nervous at this point. I don't blame him! But, to all you bloggers out there, send up some prayers for us as we begin down this puppy road. I can promise you I will have some funny stories to tell over the coming weeks and months. Seriously, I think we have officially lost our minds!

I will let you know that I feel your pain. I have two dogs and two cats (the result of working at the Humane Society), as if having the baby wasn't enough. While I was pregnant, I used to foster numerous animals, and I must say that taking care of puppies really resembles the first few months of having a newborn. I fostered 6 puppies for a weekend and had absolutely NO sleep. I really think the baby was easier:)Now we are having a blast taking care of Lilla and trying to make sure that our old shelter cat doesn't use the air conditioning vents as a litter box! Mary Lindsay will love your puppy, and it will give your other dog a playmate which could potentially keep him/her from being jealous of ML. Have fun!!
