OUR PUPPY!!!!!!

So the beautiful Oba was born November 7th.

We just got our first picture of her, so I thought I'd share.

We won't be seeing her in the flesh until summer as she has much growing and learning to do before coming out here to join the family. Not to mention all the work we have ahead to get this place dog friendly and ready. Ditches to dig, and a rock wall and gate to build, not to mention growing some grass out back. (I just re-read this and realized that it sounds like we're fortifying a castle for a siege. Sort of, but not really.)

But we just can't wait 'til summer comes!

[Edit: She's a baby Doberman, it's hard to tell with the hat and those HUGE feet!]
