We're adding to the family!!




The time has finally arrived for us to add another member to the family. We have been anticipating this for several weeks. We are going to pick up our new Airedale today. We are getting her from an Airedale rescue group. She is 8 months old and named Lili. We have been looking at this breed since last fall. This breed is known for intelligence and loyalty. They are great with children.One breeder we talked with shared with us a story about one of their Airedales guarding a glass front door when their 3 year old child wanted to open it for a stranger. It would not move until an adult came and then it calmly got out of the way. We are not sure how Layla feels about the new dog... but I feel confident that it will take some adjustment but then they will be fast friends. These pics are Lilli.

Sounds fun. We don't have any animals or children to take care of. Does that make us selfish or just too busy? I don't know, but right now I don't know how we would do it. I'm glad someone is rescuing those animals who need a home. One day maybe we will, and I think we would really love it!! Can't wait to see the pics of Lili.

I like this new dog, but I see a little head looking on that looks strangely afraid of a sneeze.
