    Presenting Tava, our new Lab mix pup!

    So, we adopted Tava from the San Luis Valley Animal Welfare Society on July 11. They were doing an adoption fair at the local Petsmart and, long story short, we went home with him. He is 14 weeks old and his mom is a Chocolate Lab mix. Based on conversation with our vet and other folks as well as some Internet research, we believe he is Lab/Great Dane or Labradane. Pics? Of course!

    Gotcha Day:

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    Oh my gosh - the cutest ever! Barley used to curl up and sleep with Moby like that until he was just too physically big to fit in the same bed. He is going to be a big boy!

    Thanks for all of the nice comments! He is a cute guy indeed, although Calley is taking a while to adapt. She is not real keen on the little guy getting up in her grille.

    At any rate, "tava" is the Ute word for Sun and we thought it would make a good name for him. Long before it was known as Pikes Peak, that same mountain (in the background below) was known to the Ute people as Tavakyv meaning Sun Mountain because it was the mountain here that the Sun first hit in the morning. That still is the case.

    More pictures? We thought you'd never ask . . .
