K-e-l-s-o, and Kelso was his name oh!

It took us two weeks and many rounds of suggesting names to each other, but we finally settled on Kelso on Monday.  For those of you who don't know, Kelso is the name of a lake in the Boundary Waters.  It apparently is also the name of a town in Scotland and, yes, the name of that guy on That 70's  Show.  We've called him Puppy for so long that it is tricky getting in the habit of calling him anything else.  

Anders is still getting used to having the puppy around.  I have to say that I feel rather guilty rocking his world like this, but hope he doesn't surprise us 20 years from now with some huge revelation that we ruined his life when we got Kelso.  They are still trying to figure out who is boss, and I have to say that Kelso is gaining the upper hand, er paw.  It must be those sharp teeth.  Anders claims he loves our puppy that moves (as opposed to the puppy he sleeps with) so hopefully all will be well.  The 3 pictures below show a typical scene in our house.

But, these next pictures indicate Anders is having more fun with the puppy.  And I just took these tonight, so they are very current.

Waiting for food!

Cuddling up to a railroad step box, comfy!

Introducing...

Well, we don't have a name for him yet, believe it or not, but here is our new puppy!  We drove to Sisseton South Dakota last night and picked him out this morning.  It was a very tough choice between him and an older 1/2 brother of his.  Our puppy is 9 weeks old and is a Blue Heeler, Lucy was at least part Red Heeler.  He came from Drywood ACDs.  We are working hard on coming up with a name for him and really excited about the sleepless nights to come!  His black spots will grow together, so he will become more "blue" over the next few years.  He has a beautiful dad and we are hoping he looks like him.

 And here is the turn table Anders and his dad and the puppy had to go see - it caught their eye as we drove through Wilmar, MN today.  Anders LOVES turn tables - it was what he wanted from Santa and got.
