I learned something today. If you really want to seriously piss off your Father... buy your Mother a dog! Somehow I inadvertently ended up buying an adorable 6 month old Silver poodle for my Mother.

Mother is over the moon with excitement and said she probably won't sleep tonight. My Father , on the other hand, threatened to set my car on fire! He's not thrilled. It's a good thing I don't go home until April!

Currently her name is Sadie (which will be changing), she'll be getting a hair-cut and the barrette in her hair will be long gone too; but here's a first peek at the newest addition to our family.
