Dog People and Elizabeth Louise

You know you've become dog people when you start addressing your dog like a person and start asking your in-laws if they got Christmas presents for the dog. I think we may well be down that path. I will have to say that my relationship with my dog, Lizzie, (otherwise, known as Lizzie Lou) is quite different than the one I had with my childhood dog. It's much more parental in nature and I will leave it at that for fear of being ridiculed by Heather for analyzing the relationship. :)

Lizzie: New Addition

Back in February, Heather and I adopted a 6-month old stray puppy from the animal shelter, who we affectionately call Lizzie Lou. She is a piece of work! The ham of the family, loves to taunt other dogs with toys, and has taken to the water like a true Lab. As far as breeds go, we think she's a mix of Lab, Pit Bull, and Rhodesian Ridgeback.
