A girl and her dog

Whoever said a boy needs a dog has never met Liz. From the time she could crawl, we could tell how much she loves dogs.  Whenever we would visit someone that had a dog, we always knew that wherever the dog was, that is where we would find her. So when we started looking at houses, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise that the only thing she cared about was having a big backyard with a fence so we could get a dog.

After living in our house for a few weeks, we went to the local animal rescue and Liz found the one she wanted. He is part black lab, so he is full of energy.  It has been just what Liz needed.  She has been great to take care of him.  It has also helped her spend a lot more time outside.

First day home, Liz was trying to make him feel at home by reading to him.
