Newest Peterson

We're pleased to introduce you to our newest addition; Miss Allegra.
AKA: Allie Lou.

Allie is on loan while my parents and Tommy Boy are serving missions. I spent the first two weeks worrying that she wouldn't get enough attention, now I'll spend the next 3 years worrying that she'll be loved to death. She's the most fantastically sweet, well mannered dog and as long as we can keep the fur under control it's the perfect situation. At 10 years old she just hangs out most of the day, but is still spry enough to play catch or swim in the river with the boys (although she may look a little rickety that evening)
So far the boys love her. It's been the perfect intro to daily chores. Matts walks her twice a day (complete with 'bags on board' to clean up after her) and sets up 'play dates' with all the neighborhood dogs. G is in charge of her vitamins and can be found randomly cuddling up with her. Christian does a very thorough job of checking her water and her temperament by sitting on her at random times.

ahh yes-- welcome to the world of endless shedding. :) I always wondered how in the heck your carpets stay so white! They're so worth it though...

miss you guys! yes- rumors are still flying, back to Benning in November possibly. It's all up to Kyle- otherwise I'd be there in a heartbeat!
