My cousin Heather and her fabulous husband Scot just welcomed their firstborn a few months ago, Ellie Rae. So it's only appropriate that Ellie have her own puppy. Not long thereafter, Scot lost his beloved companion Australian Shepherd. I went to visit them today, and was amazed by how much Ellie Rae has grown since Christmas, when I saw her last, but also by the new addition. She is so....frickin.....CUTE! OMG!!!

By the way, it is HARD WORK being this cute!!! And exhausting. Clearly, a nap is necessary.
