This little black Labrador Retriever puppy just looked at me on Friday at the store and I knew he needed to come live with me. So, he followed me home.


After thinking of different names with my name books, his name is Dan (in Japanese, 暖, which means warmth).

And, when I first saw him, he did warm my heart!

Miss Holiday's and Junior's Mama has been busy. She gave each of them a pet.
Miss Holiday is in photo #3. Junior is in photo #1.

The puppy in photo #4 is a Miniature Dachshund. Junior gave her the name, Aiko (in Japanese, it is written as 愛子), which means love (or affection) child.

The puppy in photo #6 is a Miniature Red Poodle. Miss Holiday gave her the name, Sumi (in Japanese, it is written as 寿美), which means beautifully joyous.
