WARNING: this post is basically all about cute puppies. Because we got one! Meet Van Duke. We are calling him Van.

He came with the name Duke, which Brian really liked. C was the one who got to name this guy, and he and liked Van best.

Van is another crazy German Shorthaired Pointer. In fact, Gretel's dad, is Van's grandfather.

Brian and I drove to Iowa, there and back, on Saturday to get him.

The next day, C had soccer in Madison, so Van went on his first field trip - he got to visit the State Capitol. (He's not very sure about his collar though).

We were a little worried about Gretel. She isn't always great with other dogs. But I think she kind of likes that this guy is into the same things she is.

Here he is on Monday. His 8-week birthday.

Seriously! Look at these two. I'm pretty amazed, actually.

I'd say he's pretty comfortable here.

Gretel is showing him all of her favorite things to do.

Including her bad habits. Haha! Seriously, this is really pretty cute. He's a ton of work, that's for sure. But he's also pretty cool. I think we'll really like having him around.
