Meet Reba

This our new little puppy.  The kids have been wanting a new dog ever since Bear died back in 2009.  This spring we started thinking about getting a maltese when a lady had a litter and gave them away.  The next litter she had, she decided to sell the pups and not just give them away.  We couldn't afford the price of the puppy and the vet bills, so we decided to wait.  The beginning of this week, my sister Jenny called and the litter of pups the lady was trying to sell, weren't selling so she wanted to give them away.  We decided to take the plunge and surprise the kids. They couldn't believe it!! They were so happy and touched that we got them a new dog.  The older ones keep coming to me and thanking me and telling me that they are so happy to have a dog again.  Reba is 16 weeks old and beautifully tempered, I think she will make a great family dog....and happily Maltese don't shed and they are hypo-allergenic! If you notice her name - "Reba", it's Bear's name with the letters mixed around :)
