Introducing...
Well we don't actually know yet. We can't decide on a name for this "little" guy yet.
Ben may not have been ready for another dog yet, but Momma was. Basketball starts next week and there will be more late nights for Dad so adding another man to the house was necessary.
He's a yellow lab-great pyrenees mix and one of the cutest guys I've ever seen. He will be 10 weeks old tomorrow and is going to be a BIG guy. He was one of nine and the last one left. The people we got him from said he was pretty calm once all the others were gone. He was good with the kids today and they were really good with him.
He's not really fast yet. Ben says he doesn't run like a dog, more like a steer. Pyrenees are nocturnal herding dogs. Full-grown, males weigh over 100 lbs. I never thought we'd have a dog like that! But once I saw the pictures of him, I was sold. Have I mentioned how cute he is?!
Here's what Wikipedia says about Great Pyreneese:
In nature, the Great Pyrenees is confident, gentle, and affectionate. While territorial and protective of his flock or family when necessary, his general demeanor is one of composure, both patient and tolerant. He is strong willed, independent and reserved, yet attentive, fearless and loyal to his charges both human and animal.
Here's to hoping for a long, loving relationship with what's-his-name.
(we'll keep you posted on that)

He looks like a "Gus" to me..
Very cute! One of Aaron's coworkers has had several Great Pyrenees - and they are great dogs! Very gentle with the kids! Sorry for the loss of your other pup :(
oh, how FUN for your family to have a new dog. Sorry about your other dog, that's too bad.
Avalanche- what a good name Rhett!
Even though we are not "dog people" he is really cute and the definition of the Pyrenese is pretty heart warming!
