It's Official

Thanks for all of your votes and e-mails about a name for the puppy. It was a tight race, and a vocal campaign by many of you. After considering all the input you gave, we decided to name the puppy Fluffy. OK - not really - the puppy's name is . . .



Sprite! This was just too perfect (and Landry was stuck on it). Despite being a Landry favorite, Sprite also lives up to his mythological background of being very feisty and spirited.




Sprite went to the vet for the first time and weighed in at 2.7 pounds. He was an instant hit at the office and was given a clean bill of health. He has explored his way around the house and backyard and is getting accustomed to his new home. He loves chasing Landry around and Landry loves it too! his favorite toy is Landry's dirty sock!




Landry is being such a great big brother. He even helps take Sprite outiside for his morning potty break! One morning it was rather chilly and Landry ran inside to get a hat to help him stay warm.



I guess it was less about immediate warmth and more about thinking of a warm place (note the wide brimmed beach hat)! Or maybe it was just that we live in Texas and don't really have hats that keep your head and ears warm becuase we rarely need them.

This morning, Sprite went to school with Landry to meet his friends. Landry was so excited to introduce Sprite to his class.


Sprite was - once again - an instant hit.

Sprite fits him well. (probably better than "Sarah" which was Christy's first choice for him and even Emmitt which was her 2nd.) :)

How fun that LAndry got to take him to school! I'm sure he was a hit as he was a hit with my kids!!! He is sooo cute!

Can't wait to see him again!!!
