Well, apparently we are, in fact, both spunky and loving, and the new owners of a tiny, itchy, yappy, stinky puppy. We have known for a while that we were going to have to add a dog to our collection of pets, if for no other reason than to avoid being the "crazy cat people." Every neighborhood has that house. The one where all of the strays know they can get their three squares and a saucer of milk each day. The house that kids don't go to on Halloween, mostly because of the fecal smell. We were on the fast track to becoming the "crazy cat people," with our current collection of three. The addition of this little guy just solidifies us as "that house with all the animals" instead, which is definitely preferable.

We had originally decided, even before we met this guy, that we were going to have a dog and name him "Augustus." Auggie for short. This guy doesn't seem like an Auggie, though. So at this point he is the Yet To Be Named Border Collie / Labrador Puppy:

Yes, he is the cutest thing ever.
