Welcome Frodo....to the Park!!!!





We have a new addition to the family.  No, Mindy didn't deliver 3 months early...We picked up a puppy!!  His name is FRODO.  He's about 6 months old.  Here are a few pics of the family taking him for a walk to the park.  As you can see he's a mixed breed with the face of a terrier and the body of a dachshund.  Looking like a hot dog didn't do him any favors at the park tonight when a couple of Siberian Huskys thought he might make a nice little snack.  Of course Emma let go of the leash when Frodo tugged away to go say hi to his new "friends".    The whole family was frozen as Frodo scampered over engaging the Husky's and quickly found a set of jaws on his neck.  While Frodo's astounding, whining shrill was disturbing, it was easily eclipsed by the scream coming from Kimbyl as her new puppy was "getting killed".  The Husky's owner intervened and Frodo was released from the Jaws of Death.  The owner used the anemic excuse that they were just playing with him, but the Larson's knew better, there was BLOODLUST in those dog's eyes.  We retreated back to the homestead and closely checked over Frodo for battle wounds.  Luckily he seemed intact.  Only after prolonged holding and cuddling did the Universe return to normal in the Larson home, and of course a few lessons on leash-holding for Emma.    Oh yeah, and Max and Tessa had fun on the teeter-totter.

I can't believe how much Tessa looks like Mindy - she is a cutie! Good luck with the dog - btw, of course I am partial. Every family needs a dog!

looks like you finally broke down and got a dog. I bet the girls love it. Bryar loves to look at the pictures of your dog on the blog so I just put it on the computer for her to stare at.
