You may have noticed our family walk having grown...by four feet. Meet Birdie, our Border Collie/German Shepherd rescue mutt. We adopted her October 11th from the local shelter and are over the moon with her! She has fit in around here almost seamlessly, the kids have handled her needs willingly and with much care, and I have yet to complain {even once!} about dog hair. I did gripe about the cat skull she dropped on the living room floor, however. After all, one has to draw the line somewhere :)
