Puppy!

Meet Beckett, a twoish year old husky (mix?) from the wonderful folks at PAWS Chicago. We got him Thursday night and he's been settling in very nicely. He's very friendly and a great runner, but also content to curl up on the carpet while we're around.



This is another one of his favorite positions:



It's too bad that we'll have to drop him off with a friend for Thanksgiving break already, but hopefully he won't forget us in the few days.



It's pretty exciting. Amanda has grown up with dogs her whole life, but this will be my (and a Thompson-Westra) first. He's going to be a great running buddy and loves to be around us. He's even got a few key commands down pretty solidly already. And it's nice to be greeted back from work with a happy puppy jumping up to say hi. We are investing in a good dog brush and lint roller for that lovely hair. The amount collected by the vacuum after its first run post-arrival could have been its own little dog.



Winter is coming.
