Introducing Benton!

Here is a picture of our newest family member from the shelter's Web site: Benton Bradley Reynolds! We went to the shelter last night thinking we would pick out a puppy. We did the rounds and spent some time with this little guy. We fell in love! Benton is only one year old, and he is the sweetest dog! He is mellow, and he loves to smile!

We will pick him up tonight once Kevin gets off work for the evening. We plan to venture to the dog wash across town to get him all clean (they don't give them check out baths), and then we will get him acquainted with his new kennel and our apartment. In the next few days, we hope to introduce him to his cousins, Mable and Ivy. They are twin beagles, and I know they will all love each other.

Last night, we bought him all of his essentials: collar, leash, brush, shampoo, treats (a lot!), several toys, puppy pads (they said he is fairly well trained, but we want to be prepared), and a snuggle toy. We were able to pick out his name since he was a stray and they were not sure what his first name was.

We can't wait to bring him home!
