I have a new pup! Her name is Claire, and I adopted her at a Farmers Market I was participating in at Cambria Winery in Santa Maria. Sara and I said "let's go check out the dogs," and here little Claire was, just adorable as can be, barking until you put your hand into her pen - she instantly got quiet and latched on to your hand in a hug. She just wanted some love! She's getting plenty of it now, and she's giving a lot back. She follows me everywhere, sits next to me on the couch, lays in our laps, sleeps at the foot of our bed and is so playful. She's like a mini-Ronan, and even howls like the wolfhounds used to :)We went and got her a Harley-Davidson collar, and though I think Jason would have liked the "Bad to the Bone" leash, we didn't go crazy with branding our dog. Jason likes her too, but she's definitely my dog and is content to just being in the same room as me in her little doggie bed:
