I'd like to introduce our new family member. It's a 3-month-old boy. Isn't he cute?

We haven't decided on a name yet. Have you any suggestions?

HSDM rocks! Meet my new team!

You guys are so great, thanks for letting me share and for understanding. Jenny, I can really relate to the waterworks. I finally got my butt to Minneapolis to attend one of HSDM's graduations this fall. The Puppy Raisers and/or Foster Families "present" the dog to the client as the emcee describes the dog, where they came from, the client, what the team does, and how their lives have been enriched. I can't describe how much those people GIVE...on and on and on... (kleenex please). To take in a cute, cuddly puppy...socialize it in every conceivable way...raise it as your own...attend obedience classes...devote MONTHS of love and training...and then WILLINGY give that wonderful puppy to a stranger in need. I could barely talk to these great people for the tears. They are so special. (And the tears fall as I type.) You've got to be pretty special to do that, I don't know that I could... but thank God there are people that understand the gift they have and can give. There are so many people in need out there. If you think you can be a puppy raiser or foster home for a reputable service organization....or help out at a shelter...go for it! Or help in ANY way, no matter how small you think it may be. May the world will be a better place for all our furry friends, and all the humans they can help, next year. Merry Christmas, Sarah

You moved?! After seeing all the GREAT visitors you had, it's hard to imagine you found a BETTER place! Can't wait to see who shows up next. 8-] How big is your new little friend going to get? He doesn't look like any of the babies in my field guide. ICA, Sophie ^i^

Here's nature at it's best Alaskan style. Bald eagle...beautiful noble bird of prey, perches on the top of a huge old fir tree just a little ways outside of our bedroom window. The first year I was here I thought "oh my goodness how wonderful". Then we have the loons. Loons mate for life so we have the same pair return to us annually (cooincidentially the same weekend as my neighbors but they claim not to be related). These aren't common loons that make that beautiful "Beyond golden pond" song noise...these are elegant and beautiful Arctic Loons, who's romantic song sounds like two tom cats fighting over a female. And our loons are big lovers so we hear this cacophany of love at full volume every single night until they produce an egg, then a chick. Baby Arctic Loons are somewhat rare and definately so in the city, and a treat to behold. They next right next to our house (the "loon cam" is normally mounted in our yard by the wildlife freaks...with our permission...we like some freaks). Anyhoo, every year we get to see the baby hatch and we protect it from canoers who get too close and every single freaking that dang Eagle sweeps down within the first week of the poor chicks life and carrys it away screaming to it's death (yes literally screaming to it's death). I hate that dang eagle... Umm what were we talking about? heh heh

Woa, thanks Anna! Chu-Chi sounds so cute and so Vietnamese! It matches the boy so much. We might take that name. Anything else, folks?

Elizabeth - that's cute. I tell my cat with the black mask, we named him Bandito 'coz he stole our hearts!

Xuan - glad you like it. And how cool it sounds Vietnamese! I vaguely recall hearing on TV years and years ago (in England), the expression "chu-chi face" - for someone who is very cute and loveable looking, as in "how's my little chu-chi face". I never thought how to spell it, so I came up with Chu-Chi for you :)

As dorky as it sounds, he looks like a Teddy Bear to me... I'd probably call him Theodore Bear, Teddie for short! Not very Vietnamese, I know...

He's adorable, Xuan! Just adorable!

Thank you so much, folks, for all nice words about our little boy. We love him so much.

Actually Chu-Chi spelled and pronounced exactly Vietnamese. I love this name but DH and daughters said it sounded "female". DD suggested "Tony" (after the musical award) but DH didn't agree because our nextdoor neighbors' pet is named Tony already.

So in the end, we agreed on the name Biam (bee-am). Here's a video of Biam playing with his blanket, should you be interested.

Great video clip, Xuan! He's really a playful little guy!

Through the years, I have found out that it's best not to give puppies socks or shoes to chew on... they don't know the difference between the ones you gave them, and the ones that belong to you! I lost a fabulous pair of heels to a bulldog pup... it wasn't her fault... I gave her an old sneaker to play with, and she thought she could play with all my shoes! Big mistake!

So now... I give pups their own toys, dog toys. Kongs or rope toys, balls... stuffed squeaky dog toys... anything made specifically for dogs. When I catch a pup chewing on something they shouldn't, I tell them no and replace it with one of their own toys. It doesn't take long for them to grasp the fact that they can destroy their own stuff, but not yours!

I've saved all my shoes and other belongings by sticking to my own rule! :-)
