Nathan got a puppy for his birthday!
We adopted her from the pound in Athens. They’re guessing boxer/cocker spaniel mix, and about four months old. I think I see some Rottweiler in her snout. She’s still way more clumsy than graceful, which makes me think she’s going to be a big one.
Her pound name is Button, and that’s what we’re going with right now. Nathan’s thinking on a name.
First time in my life there’s been a puppy in the house for which I haven’t had primary responsibility. Heh. Welcome, little (for now!) lady!

Only 4 months? Yeah, she may end up being a good-sized dog. And she is cute as a button.
After spending the weekend with her, I’m more convinced than ever that we’ve got a big dog here.
