meet pepper

we have really gone off the deep end now!  we have an addition to our family!  seriously, i just had my gallbladder removed, i did not pop out another kid!  but, we did get a puppy!!!
her name is pepper

she is a vizsla, almost 6 months old which is why she is so big! 37lbs already!  last monday we were going to get an 8 week old pup, but then the breeders said they had an older dog who they were going to train as a show dog but changed their minds because she had an underbite.  we asked to see her and i knew she was going to be ours.  we came home and talked it over as a family.  the kids wanted the smaller puppy but jay and i convinced them that pepper was a better choice- she had all of her shots so we could take her out to play right away and we didn't need to be as careful for the next 8 weeks.  we all agreed and went back to get her at the end of the week.
she is already spoiled to pieces!  by next week the honeymoon for the kids will be over and then we will see if they start going back on all of their promises!!
