New Family Member
Hi Everyone: These are not the best pictures yet, but I wanted to let you all know we have an addition to our family. Please meet Casey. She is 4 1/2 yrs old. Junior has no problem with her, but Dally is her nasty self at times. A friend of ours has had her since 8 wks but really never spent much time with her. She spent most of her time in a crate. We have tried to take her from them for awhile. Since, she started running away every time they let her out, they finally gave her up. She has been great in the house, but does have some bad habits that we are working on. -- Sharon Gray
