Winston

Our new puppy is finally here!  We went to Emigrant over the weekend to attend the official "Puppy Picking Party" on Sunday.  We decided to make a little getaway out of the event, and we drove over on Saturday to meet up with our friends Josh and Amy Amidon.  We all had a fabulous dinner at Chico Hot Springs followed by a nice soak in the pools.  We spent the night at the Yellowstone Country B&B in a great little cabin. On Sunday morning we converged at Tim Powell's place with the other new puppy owners.  I won't go into all the details of the picking process, but I am pretty sure we ended up with the best pup in the litter.  I considered sending him back after he cried all night during his first night at home, but he is quickly adjusting.  I guess we'll keep him. 

The proud new owners

Who could resist that face?

Amy had fun playing with the puppy, and she was hoping someone wouldn't show up to get one of them. Sorry Amy.

I am pretty sure Josh wanted to take one home too.

Winston got a bath in the kitchen sink - not one of my best ideas.

Bailey absolutely LOVES Winston and wants to spend all of her free time with him.

Ellie isn't quite so excited about the new addition.
