yes, i have a new baby. kevin and i have adopted a dog from a rescue agency, and right now she is sitting under the desk at my feet. we named her tessie, and she's a beautiful, well-behaved boxer/lab mix. she goes outside well, she sleeps well and she hardly barks, only when someone is walking by the apartment door. and best of all, she loves to cuddle.

one of her favorite things to do is to climb in bed, under the covers in between kevin and i.

and i had my first scary mommy moment yesterday. i bent down to pick up... her business. and i wasn't holding the leash as tight as i though and she took off like a shot (she's like super-fast). as soon as i telled "tessie, stop!" she froze and she knew she was in trouble. but she is still a good good dog.
this is the start of another crazy adventure.
