Welcome Home Snoopy!

Okay! Mike finally gave in! We have a new addition to our family! Now, officially introducing Snoopy Morrill. Snoopy is an 18 month old miniature Dachshund (a.k.a. mini wiener dog). Snoopy came from a very loving family who had to return stateside on short notice and could not take him with them. They were very sad to part with Snoopy, but we assured them he would have a caring, loving home. He is small in stature, but has a bark that would scare any dog away! He is so sweet and lovable, and he adores Gracie. We honestly could have never found a better dog. Of course, Mike wasn't totally on board with getting a dog (especially a mini wiener dog), but you can't resist loving Snoopy! He is just too sweet!

When Snoopy first arrived in our home, Gracie had a hard time understanding that Snoopy was a dog and she was a toddler. Gracie wanted to eat Snoopy's food, and she refused to get out of Snoopy's bed. She has been following him around with his leash all day. She hasn't quite figured out that he has to be attached to the leash, so she just chases after him. It is so cute! I am already trying to convince Mike that we need two dogs :-) He isn't convinced just yet!

Snoopy is just too cute. He is at a good age to get, he's past the "real" puppy stage. Gracie looks so cute following him around with the leach. Hee Hee. Is he bigger than Tequila? If it was cold there I'd send you some of Tequila's wardrobe. Talk soon. Linda/Mom/Grammy

So glad Gracie has a puppy. It looks like Fran's "Petey Dog" that she got from Slick. Tell Gracie not to forget Gabe. Have you seen the calendar? I think it is perfect. Miss all of you and for sure the passenger misses "the personal shopper".

Morrill Family,
Thank you so much for taking care of our little Snoopy. We miss him so much. Katelin still goes around the house looking for him and Aaron talks about him often. We know he is in a good home and was blessed to find a wonderful family as yourselves to be his second family. Thank you! You'll never know what it means.
