I hope you all don't mind my little puppy story to get me back into the groove of writing.  I had a very busy semester at school with writing, writing, writing! I am the only one in the class who received an A though, so it was definitely worth all the stress, research and writing.  My final thesis was on the true foundation of America.

We got a new puppy about a month ago. She is a Shiba Inu which is a Japanese breed. Her name is Momo, which means "peach" in Japanese. With her thick puppy fur and her coloring, it is the perfect name for her. We are teaching her commands in Japanese too.  It has been interesting getting used to having her in the house and getting her into a routine.  I can say that we are "dog tired" in my house.  It is like setting a toddler loose in the house, but not just a toddler, a toddler with sharp teeth. I can say I am an unofficial chew toy with the bitemarks to prove it!  I love her though.  It is fun and exhausting at the same time. She gets into everything...everything!   I think she has the perfect personality for our little family.  We laugh a lot around here. She has the cutest little bark (so far) and we have heard the famous Shiba scream once or twice already.  She goes to work with me on Fridays and gets along with everyone.  She and Sassy (our cat) are finally finding a way to coexist.
