Our New Dog!

On Tuesday we went and got our dog named Hawk. We had to put down our other dog, Brownie, since she left our yard and bit someone. Hawk is a Black Lab cross Border Collie cross German Shepherd.

The official name he came with is Hawk but each person can add their own variation: Hawkey, Hawkley, Hawkeye, etc.

Hawk has a long wet tongue and likes licking! We pray that he will be a good dog for us and for others around us!
