..Is his name:
He was a 7-week old mutt when we got him from a lady selling puppies in the Walmart parking lot 2 days before Phoebe was discharged from the hospital. Rumored to be a Springer Spaniel/Black Shepherd mix, I believe that is probably accurate. We saw the Mom Spaniel at his birthplace when we went to pick him up, and the color is pretty obvious.
I expect he may get fairly large, considering the disproportionate size of his head. Shelly and the cats did not take long to accept him into the fold. Marshall is quite curious about him, shelly has started full-on dog play and only Kiki remains just annoyed with our little bundle of playful energy named Jax.
