Puppy

Check out what wandered into our yard today.

She is pretty cute.  

And since she is small enough to squeeze back under our gate after you do deep freeze your heart long enough to kick her out, I think we are stuck with her for a while.

So if we can't get rid of her we decided to at least clean her.  She was covered in fleas but looks relatively healthy otherwise.  Then she was shivering so we decided she needed to be cuddled in a nice warm blanket.  Then she looked tired so we decided to make her a nice bed by the door where Kaia could check on her every few minutes.

By 'we' I mean the kids and I.  Carl had to work late and isn't even home yet.  We'll see what 'we' think after he gets home :)

 I think the kids... 

 ...have already fallen in love though.

 But who knows, maybe the puppy will still choose freedom.  There are a few disadvantages to being smothered in love and absolutely adorable.
