New pup in the family

Our daughter's family has adopted a new family member. Mabel, as they have "christened" her, is an English sheepdog, and she joins Cooper, the Portuguese waterdog, to make theirs an international family...Well, sort of international. Mabel actually was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Alison learned about her online. Today Alison, Emmy, and Bob drove to Berlin, (western Pennsylvania, not Germany) to meet the breeder who brought Mabel to them. When they arrived home in Ohio, I had the opportunity for a little photoshoot. Mabel is the second English sheepdog in this family. The first one, Milly, was much loved and sorely missed, so it's no surprise that Cooper (also much loved) has a little sister. He is going to be very surprised when the "little" sister outgrows him, probably in the near future. If you love puppies, you can see a few more pictures from the photoshoot here.
