Our family has grown

by four feet :)

Introducing Dog. We will name her soon, for now Dayton just calls her Dog, or more accurately "daawwwwwwwwwg" so the rest of us have followed suit.
She is really good and the boys just love her. The first day Dayton would freak out if she got close to him. Then it was only if her wet nose touched him or she licked him that he would start this whole body convulsion thing until she stopped. As you can see, Dayton spent a couple days hanging out on the sofa, the only safe spot where dog couldn't get him.
Yesterday though, Dayton was eating a sucker, and decided to share it with dog. They bonded over the sucker, and are now bestest of friends. Thank goodness, if that shrieking every time she touched him would have continued, Dayton would have gotten a muzzle, not the dog of course.

Any suggestions for a name? I want something Japanese-ish.

Skoshi is the name that has been on my mind since the boys did "Skoshi Warrior" last week. I will blog about that next.

Skoshi is "little" - that's a great name! Congrats - she's a cutie pie! I can't believe you got a dog! haha!

Inu is dog, but not really a name that rolls off the tongue I guess...

Cute dog, Shannan! I have meant to email you and let you know how incredibly easy it was to bring Bella back because I knew your kiddos wanted a doggy. Skoshi is very cute!

I am so glad you got a girl dog! You need a little estrogen in that house!
Ari is the only one I could come up with for Arigato (probably b/c that's the only Japanese word I know LOL)
