Some of you might remember the threads I made about my cousin's dogs, Cheddar and Rolley. Cheddar passed away a little over a year ago, and sadly Rolley had to be put to sleep a couple months ago.

My cousin just moved back to IL from Portland, Oregon this summer. I beleive this was the first time he had been dogless for a long time. (He had Cheddar for 12 or 13 years, and adopted Rolley quite a few years ago) He must have really been missing having a dog around. He was going to wait until he had his own place before bringing a dog home, but he found a golden mix puppy up for adoption at the rescue he is volunteering at and fell in love!

I knew he was bringing the puppy home today, but my mom didn't tell me that we were going to get a surprise visit!

So, I'd like to introduce everyone to Sassy!


She loved playing with that toy!




More belly rubs, please!


Such a sweet face!
