We have added a new member to our family

We got a dog ! !

Our son, Jarrett, has been BEGGING for a dog for years. We have stalled him as long as possible. We told him we had to wait until we could afford to fence in our yard, maybe in a year or two after we possibly move. But when Loli became available, we just couldn't resist.

Loli is a Lab/Weimaraner mix. (I just LOVE Labs) She is almost 1 year old, already been fixed, and she is potty trained.

Loli's previous owners are my niece Amanda & her kids Cassie & John Robert. They just hated the thought of giving her away, but they just moved to a new apartment and animals are not allowed. When they realized they needed to find Loli a new home, they looked to family first. I had mentioned to my sister Linda that Jarrett would love to have a dog and that I love labs.
So, we all talked and decided that Loli needed us and we needed her.

Since Loli has been an inside dog for all her life, we are keeping her inside for right now. Eventually, we want to set up a trolley & cable system, or maybe an electric fence system.
At least for potty times, and possibly for long days when we might be gone. (I hate the thought of keeping a dog her size confined inside all the time or for long periods of time.) We want her to have the opportunity to run & jump & play without constraint. But right now, if she gets loose, she runs through the whole neighborhood !

We have a little over an acre. Loli would LOVE to use the back part of our property to run & play, but Kudzu has taken over that part.

So far, Loli has not had any accidents ! She is such a good girl !

I love the personality of Labs. They are so sweet with children, and also protective, but not dangerous like some breeds can be.

Loli has already become one of the family, already spoiled rotten by her previous owners.
(we say that all 3 of us are spoiled (mom dad & Jarrett))
And Loli fits in another way too. She snores ! Just like the rest of us ! ! lol ! !

I'll add some photos soon.
