Newest Family Member - Bean

I guess I need to be more diligent in my postings.  Its been at least six months and there has been lots of activity:  FINA World Masters Swimming Champs in Goteborg, Sweden, a week on Muckle Roe in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, end of summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year 2011 and another birthday.  Oh, and a new addition to the family - Bean, the mini poodle with unknown mix.

Bean likes to chase the big dogs at the dog park who chase the balls their owners throw.  He has no interest in catching a ball, just in the chase.  He likes popcorn and squeaky toys.  With limited eyesight he has security issues and is a great guard dog that barks a bit too much when he feels threatened.  But, we are working on that, one loud bark at a time.  Cats have gone into hiding, chase is not their game.
