Puppy love

A new little friend for our family. Charlotte's her name. She came from the animal shelter, but before that she was an island girl. A vet brought up a few stray pups from the Bahamas (hopefully the pups don't mind being rescued from a tropical paradise). Apparently there are thousands of these dogs running amok and just barely eking out an existence. They are known as "Potcakes" because they eat the caked-on scraps from the bottoms of pots and pans left out by the locals.
The kids had been begging to get a dog for a long time, but the timing never seemed right. I'm so glad we finally took the plunge...Charlotte is a great little dog.

(Charlotte was to have been my secondborn's name had he been a girl!)

ooooh...how sweet she looks. Little puppies and puppy breath...delicious. What interesting mixes of dog they are!
I hope she brings much joy to your family and I'm sure she will be most grateful to be part of a loving home (her own new paradise)even if it isn't on an island...
