Meet Sally.

Sally is the newest member of our family. She is a beautiful girl that is full of playful energy. A few months ago we adopted Striper, a duck tolling retriever that was a stray found in Mississippi. We quickly learned that she needed a buddy, and that the boys were thriving with their new "dog owner" responsibilities.


Striper and Sally are very different - Striper is cautious and Sally is gregarious. Striper walks around the mud, Sally rolls in it. Together they make a perfect pair. I am sure that is poop Sally is rolling in below.




They have taken us on many adventures - often through the rows and rows of Christmas trees that surround our house. This will probably be the only time in my life when chasing a dog through trees is a good thing - because I also have two boys to exhaust! And hearing Henry yell, in his little voice, "Striper! Where are you? Saddy? Are you hiding?" is just too sweet.



Although on a recent excursion Henry became distracted by a huge mud puddle that he too thought he should roll in - thank goodness his older brother pulled him out and carried him the whole way home, saying to Henry, "Don't worry, I got you Bubbie!" Henry has proven to be as mischievous as Sally - He now has a partner in crime! There's that little devil below.
