New Family Addition

You can see how Elise has given herself an orange facial.
All ready for a walk to the park.
Quite extensive application of orange to the face is necessary for the full desired effect.
Kristin's birthday present. Yes, another dog. But when you do such a great job as Kristin, you get what you want.
His name is Amos, and he is a nearly two-year old, blue-brindle greyhound. The color combination is pretty rare and he's really handsome. He never raced, for whatever reason, and you can see he is fitting in fairly well so far.
This is Jason posting, if you haven't figured out yet. Elise enjoyed her first Super Bowl last night, and like a drunk old man, wouldn't take off her Cowboy's shirt despite their failure to make the playoffs. I have had a cold this last week and we are thankful that Elise has stayed healthy. In fact, her oxygen need has gone down to about 300 ml. She is also showing small improvement in getting food into her mouth and is rarely vomiting. We had some good weather this weekend so we to Elise and the pups on a walk to the park down the street. Hope you all are doing well, love you,
Jason

Now everyone is going to go out and start wanting orange facials - Elise is quite the trendsetter! I'm sure it's going to be all the rage! I can't wait to meet Amos - he looks very handsome. What does he think about being the only male dog in the house? Love you guys, Grandma Marcie
