We got a PUPPY!!!

On February 20 we welcomed a new member into our family..... A PUPPY!

Jeremy had a friend of a friend that had puppies they wanted to get rid of for free so we could not turn down the opportunity. We have been wanting a dog for a long time and we wanted one that we could train to be a house dog since we live in a condo. Jeremy researched and came up with the name Nzuri ( the "N" is silent.) The name means Beautiful in swahili. He was very proud of the name so i said ok. I didnt like the N in front of the name but he wanted it to be unique so i let him have the name as he wanted it.

Nzuri was born January 6. Her dad is a boxer and he mom is a red bone blue tick hound. I read up on the breeds of dogs and both said they were good with kids, other animals and are great family dogs.

The kids love having her. Jer and I do too, but neither one of us realized how much work a puppy would be. Its like having another child! Here are a few pictures of the new member of the Mabbutt family. :)
