Meet Sally!

Luke LOVES animals. At the fair, he spends so much time in the petting zoo. So, we decided to get him a puppy for his birthday this year. So today, I took him to the city pound to let him pick out a puppy.
He found this really cute lab mix. He promptly named her Sally, after the Porshe in the Cars movie. The ride home was quite interesting. The shelter gave us a box for Sally to ride in, but Sally didn't really like the box and howled and barked the entire time. Avery covered her ears with both hands. We stopped at Lawrence Hall to see Freddie and we determined that it would be a much more comfortable drive home if Sally sat with Luke......amazingly enough, I didn't hear another peep out of Sally and she fell asleep in him lap.
When we got home, Sally made herself right at home. She followed Luke everywhere. Even when he was riding his bike, she was right there beside him. Avery quickly learned how to say, "DOWN, Sally!"
Unfortunately, I think that Avery is allergic to canine saliva. Her poor little face broke out everywhere that Sally licked her. She has had this reaction once before with another dog. We will have to make sure Sally saves all her kisses for Luke!
Right now, Sally is outside trying to adjust from the tiny kennel at the pound with 2 siblings to being all alone in a big back yard.

I am not to sure how this blogging thing works, but I am going to give it a try!
