Will work for food…

Here is our latest addition to the farm. He's cute, fuzzy and oh so sweet. Just look at those eyes…

Hard to believe that he will be a bone crushing behemoth in a few months. Right now he’s more like a little tiny, cuddly polar bear that just wants to snuggle all the time.

The girls loooooove him, and I think the feeling is mutual. They are all so happy together. It borders on the verge of absurdity. I’m getting a little jealous here…
He is a “Great Pyrenees.” He is going to be huge, probably around 130 lbs or so. Our guard dog passed away some time ago, and we needed someone to fill the breach. It turns out that the Great Pyrenees are perfectly suited to our needs here on the farm. They are calm and gentle, but really protective of the animals as well as the children. Also we won’t need to get the girls a pony now. We just need to get the dog a saddle. If you do a google search on the great pyrenees, you will see what I mean.
We still haven’t figured out a name. I was thinking something like, Thor, or Porthos, or maybe Fezzik. Magnus has a nice ring to it. Lia came up with “Mack” on her own.
Here are some other names that Lia was pulling for: Wooly, Draco, Maugrim, Dragon King, Rex, Percy, Buddy, Guygo. (Lia is five)
Eden (our two year old) suggested “Roxy”. (Roxy is grandma’s miniature pinscher)
