Welcome Shep!

We are finally dog owners! Meet Shep. Over the weekend we rescued him from the Ayres Memorial Animal Shelter. He was abandoned by his previous owner and tied to the front porch of the shelter.







Isn't he cute?! And he's such a nice dog too. He does have lots of energy, but is also snuggly, affectionate and likes to have his belly rubbed.

Josh and I are not naturally dog-lovers, but we are quickly learning to love Shep. He LOVES to go for long walks/runs and he and the kids have already had some really fun times playing in the snow. He has made Solomon and Lydia very happy!

Welcome to the Baron Family Shep!

  1. Kim,

    Shep is *so* adorable. He looks like a great family dog, and so cute too! :)

    I love reading your updates on life there in NY and even have you linked from my blog. Hope you don't mind!

  2. Amy-
    Shep really is a great dog. Had his first bath tonight and seemed to really like it!

    Thanks for the encouraging words. I have found blogging to be a bit like keeping a journal in that it helps process the events of life.

    What is your blog url? I'd love to follow yours too.
    Peace,
    Kim

  3. At least the previous owners brought Shep to the place where he had the best chance of finding a nice family. they must have been unable to keep Shep, rather than eager to be rid of him. You guys were at the right place, at the right time! Lucky Shep and lucky Barons!! :)

  4. Hey Kim! Stumbled upon your blog this a.m. and am enjoying catching up with your new adventures! I so remember moving from a place I loved to an unknown - pregnant as well! Sounds like you've landed in a great spot! But it still can have it's difficult days. Nice to 'see' you, Kaija.

  5. Hi Kaija-
    Nice to hear from you! How are you? Hope you are well.

    Yes, it's been a big adjustment moving to NY, but it really is a great place to be. And yes, there are difficult days...but more good ones than bad.
