Meet Elroy!

Well I am kind of behind on updating this, but here it goes!

March 24th we picked up FLD Elroy from Leader Dogs for the Blind. He was a precious sleepy little 8 lb baby when we got him. While it was sad to let Pongo go, it felt oh so good to be holding a little guy with the comforting smell of stinky puppy breath! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the day we picked him up!
Melissa being handed Elroy for the very fist time!
It was love at first sight!
Daniel also fell in love with him instantly!
Our little nugget

Our dear friends Randy & Sue picked up their new pup Norma the same day we picked up Elroy.
Loving the new addition to our family!
And it's time for Millie to meet Elroy! She was a little skeptical at first, but quickly decided he was cute and that she wanted to play with him!
Updated family photo! Millie is a proud big sister!
Little guy was all tuckered out from the big day.
And we quickly learned that he LOVES sleeping upside down in our arms like a little baby!

It was very exciting to be starting the adventure of raising a puppy for Leader Dogs a second time! We had learned so much from raising Pongo and couldn't wait to teach Elroy the ways of a guide dog!
