Elphaba

We entered a raffle when we were at Relay for Life. They announced that at one of the booth's they were raffling off tickets for a 10 week old Labrador Retriever. We went to the booth, saw the picture and fell in love. We decided to buy a ticket, and that if we were supposed to have a dog, then we would when. Tori (Bret's sister) also bought a ticket, she really wanted us to have a dog.

At 10:00 that night we got a phone call that we had won. So, while we weren't sleeping that night, we thought about names all night, and about 6:00 we came up with Elphaba. She is named after the character from Wicked, who is the black witch. So, we now have Elphaba, who in her 8 months, has brought joy and frustration to our lives. We enjoy her so much, and she is a fun addition to our family.

Katelyn made this sign to welcome her home.
This was when she was learning her new backyard.
So cute and tiny.
I love my little girl.
