Puppy Update

So our new puppy has a name!  She is Mobius...or Mobi for short.  She is so sweet and she is adjusting well to her new home.  She loves her big sister Stormy....though she is rapidly growing and will soon be bigger than Stormy. 



She loves to lay on the tile next to the fireplace like this...though she is getting to be too big to sleep too comfortably but she hasn't given up yet.  

 But her feet don't stay up too well...


But when she sleeps like this it is so precious...Here she is as "Stormy's Toys"

And this is her today on Thanksgiving day, just relaxing before the big feast...


Waiting patiently with Stormy...

Erdnuss-Berge

When Jody and I visited with Florian's parents in Florida they sent us home with more chocolate (I'm still amazed by their generosity). One of the things we received was basically peanuts in dark chocolate. Erdnuss-Berge roughly translates to peanut mountain.





Normally I'm not a big fan of nuts and chocolate, but these are really good and in fact I think Jody liked them more than me and I think I could eat a lot of these. Recommended.

Introducing

Well we aren't really sure what her "forever" name will be, but we think she is the sweetest...


Yesterday we took a little drive to a small Colorado town and picked her up.  She is a Great Dane Puppy and is just 8 weeks old.  She should get pretty big, here are her parents:

This is her dad Sargent....he was very very sweet and I could have brought him home too...


He likes to lean up against you to get attention, here he is with my mom


This is Mom (Scooba) and Dad....

 
Here are some of the pups


Stormy is adjusting well, and she even thought about playing a little, I think in a few days they will be fast friends
 Stormy even let her bite her tail...

 Her first night, she found the treat basket and immediately fell in love with the bunny


 Here you can see her unique coloring, and she has blue eyes.....


 So what should we name her?  Any ideas?
