Introducing...

...our little black furry baby!!!

Name: Dimby Weight: ~80lbs  Breed: Lab/Chow Mix Age: 7 yrs

Okay, so Dimby is not our new baby, but he is and always will be our little black furry baby. He's been with us for a while (since 2003). He's such a sweet pup and loves everyone. He is a go-with-the-flow kind of dog (except when I vacuum).

This is where I found Dimby this morning...just chilling in the nursery as I got ready for work. He LOVES this room. I think he believes that we redid this room just for him. Since the room has been completed, we often find him sprawled out on the carpet. Maybe it is his quiet place. Maybe he is trying to get his "stink" in the room since it is so fresh and clean. Maybe he already feels a connection with this baby-to-be. 

One thing I am sure of is that my little black furry baby is going to be my best friend when it comes to late night feedings. I look forward to him keeping me company as I stumble into the room to check on the baby and to feed the baby. It's good to know that there is going to be someone (or some dog) by my side, and I don't have to do it alone. (And yes, my hubby will be helping me out, too. But there is only so much he can do when his boobies don't hold the food source for the baby!)
