Expanding the Family

As you've seen over the last few weeks our little family is growing.  After having Star for a few months we decided to get a puppy as well.  Last week we announced that it would either be Almond Joy or String Bean.  Well... We made the official decision tonight and the newest member of the Hamilton family is... STRING BEAN!!!  (His name will now be Dakota, but I thought String Bean was pretty sweet.)

We fell in love with the way that he sleeps on his back when we were visiting with the puppies tonight and loved that he has a ticklish spot on his tummy.  He's also a total snuggle bug and we are hoping that he and Star learn to snuggle each other quickly.  He'll be coming home with us on the 15th of 16th of May and we could not be more excited.

And since a post isn't very enjoyable without pictures, here are some shots of the whole brood of pups.

The five of them all cuddled.  Dakota/String Bean is in the middle with the green ribbon.

See how he's cuddled up by the runt's head?  So cute right!  The one at the top is Almond Joy, the other boy.

They were in a puppy circle.  So, so, so precious!!
