Puppy Love

Just look at this sleepy little face! This is the newest member of my (extended) family, isn't he beautiful? He's my sister's new puppy, does that make him my nephew? (I'm trying to somehow claim some ownership.) We really aren't quite ready for a dog at my house although the ranks are starting to riot--so for now, we'll just play with this little guy. He's a rhodesian ridgeback, so he won't be little for long! (The other ridgeback in the family is gigantic.)

Puppies are so much fun. I want one.

Hey, it's true, the Red Sox have their first grapefruit league game the 29th against the Twins. Yay! Here comes spring!
