Here's Sammy!!

We're big on "8s" in our family. Our kids were all born on "8" dates; two on the 18th and one on the 8th, so what better way to welcome the newest member of our family Sammy Feldman than to pick him up at the Newark airport on April 18th--coincidentally our daughter's 21st birthday. And how appropriate that Sammy was born on November 28th!!

We are very excited about our newest addition and we think he will fit right in with our already dog-filled house. Amos and Phoebe have been eagerly sniffing out the crates appearing from the attic and Amos has sampled just about every puppy toy we bought.

Sammy comes from Appleton, New York on the shores of Lake Ontario and he is a cream colored English golden retriever who looks like he will grow pretty quickly into his formal name, Samson. Look at those paws!! I heard from the breeder yesterday who said he is getting bigger by the day.

So we're off bright and early Friday morning to fetch our big boy and promise to post lots of pictures over the weekend.

And yes, now we will be a family of five humans and three dogs. You guessed it, eight.
