Pepper!

Here's our new baby girl--one month old today! Isn't she tiny? Smaller than her littermates (of which there are seven, youch). Maybe she's taking after her mother, who is a collie, rather than her father, a black lab.

Poor thing was so nervous she kept shaking and half the pictures came out blurred. But here she is--that's my hand in the picture by the way, for scale purposes. Oh, and that's my I found Jesus...he was behind the couch t-shirt, in case you're wondering. She seemed to like it. Kept licking Jesus. Of course, she also licked my nose and fingers and tried to eat my ring, so I don't think she was expressing a preference.
