Weekend Happenings

First, Ken was busy unloading heavy equipment out of his truck with a little help from the tractors backhoe. Glad to know that Lamborghini tractor of his is getting used!!! ; )



Then it was it was time to decide which of the many dog areas the previous owners (breeders) left us that we would keep and get it ready for the new dog that was coming on Sunday.



Miss K decided to test the dog crate & bed for comfort & height (silly girl)....





While her sister tested the crates lock



The girls then decided to go play & cool off in the late afternoon shower



Miss S woke up all excited that the new dog was coming. She even dressed for the occassion. She only wears dresses for events she deems special! : ) (FYI - this dress she actually made herself with very little help from mom; so she considers this one her BEST dress!)



Finally the dog's foster parents bring out Annabelle. This name may change but it's what she came with. Originally when we picked her from a list of dogs from a local rescue group we were told she was a beagle and she looked beagle. However, upon meeting her we realized that wasn't quite right. She is much taller than we originally anticipated but she is incredibly sweet and good natured!

On the adoption papers that she came with it says she is a Tennesee Walker Coonhound. I've Googled it and find the actual breed name is Treeing Walker Coonhound but that still isn't totally right for Annabelle. She is more slender & sleek than the TWC.





Annabelle... Meet Sarabelle. Total coincidence on the name thing. We were originally told it was just Anna. Miss S named the cat *Sarah Taco Bell* but I talked her into letting us shorten it! ; )



The newest family member is all tuckered out now.
