and then there were 4

we added a family member this week.  sherry's sister had been fostering a dog in Birmingham Alabama for an animal shelter.  she told us about Lilly and after much prayer, discussion, worry, discussion (we talk a lot), and excitement we decided to adopt her (the dog, not sherry's sister...Dacy already has a family).  Lilly is an 18 month-old Kelpie - an Australian cattle dog.  how could we say no?  she just weaned her litter of 9 pups and has been spade so there's no more of that business.  she is house trained and a very sweet natured puppy - and hardly sheds any hair (very important).  isaac is over the moon and we can't help but love her too.  here she is enjoying the warm Fall sunshine today.
