we… ahem… erik caved and we got a sweet little guy from the animal shelter here in charlotte. he’s 4-5 months old (they think) and is a siberian husky/german shepherd/shiba inu mix? we are not so sure, but we are sure that we don’t really care. he’s sweet, calm, playful at times, and loves to snuggle. eliza is wearing him out with all of her bossy attitude and attention to detail. she cries everytime she goes to bed now, saying “doggie!?” wyatt is over the moon and has a hard time leaving for school. he can’t wait to get home and see timber.
the name is really fitting, i think. wyatt is into GI joe’s now. he plays with erik’s old GI joe’s from the early 80′s. he wanted to give him a GI joe name. i shut down the suggestion of “cobra commander” very quickly. wyatt decided that he would be “snake eyes” and our new dog would be “snake eyes’” wolf named, “timber.” much, much better that the former don’t you think?
