This post is for Katie.....


...who has been begging for pictures of our new puppies! She is pregnant so we will indulge her :) Our new additions are (now) 7 week old Great Pyrenees puppies. Yes, they will be BIG DOGS. We saw the mother who was normal sized, but the father was a monster. They are adjusting very well to family life from farm life and like Sophie pretty well - although she has pretty much ignored them once she got over the initial excitement :) She does like to give them 'dog tweets' though! They are already members of the family and we are having a lot of fun! Their names are Fenway and Aran in honor of the two places we have lived since we were married (Aran is for the Aran Islands in Ireland in case it's not immediately apparent - I'm guessing Fenway is pretty obvious!)


The puppies first bath -- they came straight from a working farm, so were not exactly clean when we got them :) Nor are they really clean now, but we certainly try!! Anyone with dog training tips, let us know! Oh, and if anyone is seeing this and hasn't seen the post below -- there is a new update below too!!

Love,
Kate, Andrew, Sophie, Fenway and Aran (whew!!!)

They are SO adorable! I'm glad that Sophie likes giving them treats - I bet they like that too! The picture of them sitting together falling asleep nearly killed me from the cuteness.

Can't wait to meet them - and Sophie FINALLY after seeing pictures of her for months!

Please contact us! said...

Kate, Andrew, Sophie and the puppies- Welcome to your new home and back to Louisville!!! We are so excited and can't wait to see pics as you continue to get settled and the pups grow. :) Sophie is too too cute. Cullum misses her tons.
Good luck unpacking!
Love
Lindsey
