Meet Oreo...

The newest member of the Washburn family...

Yup, a new puppy!

We've sorta been looking for a dog for the past year...but wanted the *right* dog. This is Bill's dog and he was the one doing the looking...and that man is a terrible procrastinator and an even worse detective/shopper! A couple months ago he called a number he found on a public bulletin board from an ad for "lab puppies". What he found was registered $350 puppies; what he wanted was a free mutt. OK...we keep looking. Wednesday night a man called asking to talk to Bill. It was the guy with the puppies. He had someone bring back a female because the guy didn't feel he had enough time to train the dog and it wasn't fair to the dog to sit in his kennel all day. The guy told Bill that if he was still interested in having a dog...he would give her to us. He didn't want to try to resell the pup and didn't want to keep her. Sooo...that's how Oreo came to live with us!
