Our Little Annie

After the death of our first dog we were reluctant to adopt another dog right away. Our surviving dog, Jake thought otherwise. To help him cope with the loss of his big sister we began our search for a little sister. We were looking for another shepherd mix and instead fell in love with the sweetest black lab mix that came with the command "sit" from a local shelter. Although scared her first night she quickly made herself comfortable and loves her big brother Jake. She has a lot to say and "talks" to us all the time.

Her favorite activity is a ride in the tandem kayak around the lake. While Jake is handsome and independent, Annie is cute and cuddly. We couldn't imagine a life without our two kids! Although sad to think that Jake is getting older, we take comfort in the fact that we will be able to rescue another dog. I once heard and often repeat, "life is a series of dogs" and couldn't agree more.
