This week I am sharing a picture of the litter of puppies our neighbor had "by accident." He was going to take her to the vet, was going to take her to the vet, was going to take her to the vet... too late to take her to the vet - one of those deals. We picked our puppy, she was mostly black with a little white - or mostly pepper with a little salt, right? We named her "Pepper." She was a good dog, a little exuberant but she was just excited to be alive. The coolest thing about her was that she figured out how to help round up the chickens. If some ran off the wrong way or under the car at coop time, Pepper would round them up and herd them back. She was like 1/8 Australian Shepherd, and I think it really came out in that odd trait.

In this picture (my official entry) she is on the right with the little white paws.

Here she is a few weeks later, all comfy with us in her new home:

Hopefully that will give you a smile that will help you power through a Monday!
