Introducing...Otto!

So, we're suckers. Plain and simple...suckers. Before we moved into the new house (and when I was having a horrible day), Michie said, "ok. get your shoes on. we're going to the humane society. you need to play with a dog." ...sigh...ok.
At the humane society, we met Otto...a Corgi/Chow mix (a cow!); he was new to the shelter, all kind of matted and stinky! however, he was quite simply one of the sweetest dogs either of us had ever met.
Fast forward a month, we're settled in the new house and where do we go? you guessed it...and guess who was still there--Otto! Yup, he's now clean, trimmed, and as sweet as he could be. He may look a little contemplative in the photo, but no worries...he's usually smiling with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. :) We've had him for a few weeks now and are happy, happy, happy. (and, yes, Otto is now king of the couch. sorry, mom, and dog trainers everywhere....)

On another note, a cousin of mine graduated from high school and had a birthday last month...you think a quilt is in order? I do! Come to think of it, I think it's already done and heading to SC this weekend!
