Mom's New Job! My new friend!

Well as most of you know... mom has been working two jobs to support our family and only one part time job in the summer, so she has finally found a new full time year round job with Child Development Incorporated! She will be the center manager/site director for a local preschool/school age program and a place that gives great benefits and opportunities to grow into higher management positions in the years to come. We are sad to leave our friends at the co op preschool and the city job but we need to do what we need to do to support the family and our futue. So wish us all luck in our new adventures!! Will keep you posted, we start December 11th.

I also have a new brother (boyfriend??).. havn't figured that out yet. His name is Tony and he is the same age as me and we got him at the shelter. He is an australian shepherd mix, smaller than me. He has been teaching me to have fun, run lots and lots and lots--- we looooove to play and excercize. I have been teaching him manners, like laying down when the famly eats, sitting politely to wait for things...not pulling on the lease... potty trained the guy in two days!!

Here are some pics of us...

Heeeeeerrreees Tony!!
