Animal Planet

You may have heard that we brought home a new puppy on Saturday.

You heard correctly.

There was a bit of chaos that day so I may not have all the facts straight just yet.

On Saturday the girls were supposed to fly to from Phoenix to SeaTac but their flight was over booked and they got bumped. After a lot of whooping, hollering and crying, Airline Officials decided it would be best to just get them out of Phoenix... as soon as possible. New flight plans sent them to San Francisco and then up to Portland... arriving at 9:30pm.

So, it became my duty to locate the designated breeder in some remote town in Oregon (Clatskanie), pick up the puppy on my way to the Portland Airport and then meet them at the airport in Portland for a leisurely drive home.

Fortunately, my end of the deal was uneventful. Found the breeder... picked up the dog... and made it to the airport with 45 minutes to spare.

The dog is some breed that I can't recall, but coincidentally, it rhymes with "Lottsa Poo". Also, the dog is being named after the cat: Catrina.

My suggestion to name the dog "Voila!" (complete with the exclamation mark) didn't win. Personally, Voila! is perfect because every time you turn around in this house... Voila! there is another animal.

Pics & video will follow in the next few days or so.
