the newest Addition to My Family

May 19th, 2008 Michael Farnum

OK, I know I started a personal blog so I could keep this place security centric, but I really just don’t like doing that.  As Alan would say, this is my blog, and I will post what I want.  So I have decided to start putting personal stuff over here again.  That being said, here’s a personal post.

Meet Lizzie:

She is a German Shepard / Rottweiler mix that we adopted from the SPCA.  We really went in there looking for a smaller dog, but she (corny alert) captured our heart before we really had a chance to look (I’ve heard the dogs picks the family, not the other way around, and I believe it now).  She is three months old, and she is already showing me she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever met.  And the family loves her already, even though the kids have felt the wrath of sharp puppy teeth from playing with her.

By the way, she is named after Elizabeth Bennet from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, even though I am pretty sure Austen spelled her nickname "Lizzy".  Austen is a favorite author of my wife and me.
