wil and kris (and gracie and ava)

wil and i would like to announce the new arrival to our family…

(we haven’t figured out her full akc name quite yet)

here are the stats on our new little gal:

• breed: great dane
• color: harlequin (she’s mostly black with white and gray splotches)
• mom: “My Lady Madelyn”
• dad: “Damien Eye of Darkness”
• birthday: may 27th, 2006 (we realized it was meant to be when we found this out!)

some fun things about her (we are already smitten): she really likes water…when we first gave her a drank, instead of drinking it, she preferred to lay her face in the dish and blow bubbles with her nose! she got used to the house and her toys pretty quick, but the actual stepping over the threshold seems to be a big deal for her…we have to wait like 2 or 3 minutes for her to stare into the house before coming in. and she has three white paws and one black one and her tail looks like it was dipped into a can of white paint. we just can’t get over how cute she is and how fun it is to have her, even with the multiple “accidents” already…

wil and i are really looking forward to her becoming our baby and having fun with her as she grows (a lot!). we love the new excuse to get ourselves outside to enjoy the tennessee summer together!
