Lennie




Introducing
The newest addition to the family....
He's really calm and mellow, and so far has been a very good boy. The kids can't get enough of him, and are really taking to their new responsibilities. Hopefully this will last, although I know that it probably won't. It is definitely a good lesson on responsibility for them though.
He's a boxer pup that we got from Scott's brother who had a litter. They were all so cute, but Quinn and Scott got their favorite pick after assessing their personalities.

There was much discussion about the name. Quinn (since this is mainly his dog) really wanted to name him things like Peanut Butter or Oreo Face, or Brownie, but Mom and Dad had a say in it and after the ride home from up north last night, it was settled that his name would be Lennie. It suits his personality, and the kids like it because he's named after one of the Wonder Pets.

Saying Quinn is extremely excited is an understatement. He even slept downstairs with him last night next to his crate so that he wouldn't be lonely. I agreed to it, and I'm really glad we got him in the summer so that when we have to take him out in the middle of the night we're not freezing!

So that's why the Schroeder and Patterson kids are so irresponsible; they never had the responsibility of a puppy.:)(sarcasm)
I was wondering if you made a deal with Quinn: You may have a puppy if you allow us to take as many pictures of you as we please.
He really is sweet and Jonas and Winston have moved me from ambivalent about dogs to the aaawww factor.
