Black Rhombus

Poor ol’ Quinne got a bit to close to the maw of Aiko’s jaws last Friday.  We had to take her in to the Vet Saturday afternoon, & it’s apparently a good thing we did.  We weren’t sure how bad the cut was at first, but we knew it looked pretty deep.  Thankfully, it missed important stuff.  Like sinuses.

They’re playing regularly, & this was definitely one of those times; she just had her big ol’ snout in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Oops.  Recovering well, though, & she doesn’t even seem to mind the bonnet all that much.  You can see another photo (closeup) in the gallery here.

So this weekend we got a new puppy!  We went and visited dogs on Saturday, found one we really liked and put in an application and were immediately approved (as long as the home visit and meeting Aiko went ok).  The foster mom brought the pup to visit today, and things went pretty well so we now have a puppy.  She’s a white and caramel-beige hound mix, and we called her Quinne (like the Eskimo).  She’s very sweet and super adorable.  Aiko is being good, but is understandably a bit standoffish.  This will be an adjustment on everyones part!  Many photos to follow…

Drew just got his pictures from the New Orleans trip posted to Picasa. There are some really good ones in there. And by good I mean embarrassing. To me. Yeah.

We’ve got all of our photos onto the PC, but Rebecca hasn’t really been around long enough to go through & edit them. Maybe once she gets back… She did post a couple on her Flickr page, though (link on the right).
