Meet Marley

No not named for the new dog movie out but a horror flick (we're weirdos) "I Am Legend". In that movie Wil Smith's character has a daughter named Marley (named after Bob Marley) and besides Gage was named after a character in Pet Semetary (told you we're weirdos). Therefore, we all agreed on Marley. This is our new protector. Since our poor Brownie never returned after disappearing while we were in the hospital w/Gage last month, we had to find a good dog to help make the children aware of dangers that lurk outside, like other predators, cars, strangers!
The kids are in love with this new puppy. I have to tell you that a wonderful lady named Sabrina who breeds dogs here in Alabama, contacted me after she read my last dog post. She wanted to give us a full blooded German Shepard w/papers. We were so excited and couldn't wait but last minute we decided to pass on her generous offer. We just weren't sure that a German Shepard would be our best match and afraid it may actually attack one of the kids should they get into a fight outside or something. So we went to a local shelter and adopted Marley. Hope he likes us. He looks almost like our last dog which was a yellow lab, this one is a Golden Retriever mix. Very cute.
