Doggy Days!

Meet Tucker, the newest addition to our little family. He's not too fond of the camera - he gets all squinty at the flash.

Last week, our family adopted a dog from the local animal shelter. He's super sweet and a lovable little rascal. We adopted him on a whim and weren't really prepared for a dog, especially a small one. So I got busy this weekend and made a fleece doggy jacket and a little doggy bed.

Here's the new dog paraphernalia:


He really loves his double layer fleece jacket. It was about 30 degrees out today, so I'm sure he'll appreciate it even more on those 2 degree days.

He's not super fond of the fleece and jersey bed I made, but I am guessing he's just not used to having a bed. He'll snuggle into sometimes, but it's not a fixture in his mind yet. Right now, "BED" seems to be the red Lay-Z-Boy. Hopefully that will change. At least he doesn't shed! You can see in the lower right that my two-year-old likes the dog bed - she was using it for her monkeys and dolls to nap in. :o)
