Oh Goodness...My Guinness!


Our early Christmas present...

Meet Guinness

Kev and I had been talking about getting a new "puppy" for a bit, but we wanted to wait until we were on vacation, so we had some time to devote to getting to know our new family member. Luckily for us Guinness became available and was ready for his new home on Dec. 17, our last day of work. We got him through a lab rescue organization (www.labrescuers.org), and they helped us find a dog that was the right fit for our family. So meet Guinness....He's a very handsome 2-4 years old, 80 lb. guy that LOVES attention! He doesn't care if you pull his ears, tail, or poke him in the eye...just as long as he's being loved on. He was a stray in San Bernardino, spotted by the rescue group at the shelter, and then spent some time in foster care before we got him. We're still learning about him and his training list is becoming longer and longer! Every command is "sit!" He's a mellow guy, but he loves to take Kevin on walks. So far he's been a lot of fun and a huge pain! (He didn't understand why he wasn't allowed to jump up on the bed at 2am.) He's not perfect, but we think with a little (or maybe a lot!) training, he'll be perfect for our family!
