The New Addition

So our hearts got the better of us... and we un-simplified our lives. Ray was really tired of me yelling and throwing empty beer bottles at him when I was crying over the loss of our Tobes. He made me get up off the couch, trade in my housedress for some real clothes, and we went and got this little guy. This is the picture from when we first brought him home...

He's a Beagle/Basset mix and we named him Oliver. (Ollie for short...) Here's one of him a little more recently... giving me a look when I told him to stop eating a dead leaf...

It's hard not to compare him to Toby... and I feel guilty that I oftentimes do. I got really happy when he started kicking around the food bowl when he's hungry... cause Tobes used to do that. He's got his own personality though, and I think he's going to fit in here with us just wonderfully... =)
