our new neighbor: joey!
J'ai, our friend and neighbor, welcomed Joey into her home today. Joey is an adorable King Shepherd who arrived today from her breeder in Pennsylvania. Although she was just exhausted--lots of puppy splats as she dropped to the floor for micronaps--she's clearly a sweetheart.
Wallace will get to meet Joey soon, but we didn't want to overwhelm her on her first night in her new home. Joey succeeds (but doesn't replace) Mickey, who was the our first canine friend on the block. He and J'ai welcomed us on our first day in the neighborhood, and Wallace and Mickey used to look forward to greeting each other first thing in the morning and taking care of their...morning needs. While Joey doesn't take Mickey's place, she's a wonderful, welcome addition to our friendly neighborhood canine family, and we're looking forward to watching her grow into a strong, beautiful adult.
For the time being, though, I'm going to have a hard time resisting that silky puppy fur she's got.
