Milkshake: It's a Boy!

I have an announcement to make ... it's a boy!! I have a new baby brother and his name is Cider. Mommy w says he's named after a drink (as is the tradition in our family) and a book called "Cider with Rosie".

He has a squashed nose and is kind of ugly if you ask me but I guess most babies are. He looks happy to go home with mommy, little does he know what's waiting for him at home (me & and Lemondrop!):


He was kind of scrawny:


And had soft baby paws, which don't last very long in our family!:


What's with his "tail"?? We're going to get laughed at by all the other dogs in our 'hood!


He can be quite adorable looking sometimes, usually when he's not doing his dance thing (prancing around like a spring deer to get me to play with him), but he snores like a pig, which is so unattractive and also disturbs my beauty sleep:



He's still rather clueless, though most boys are, and he'll have to get a lot fitter if he wants to keep up with me.


Do all babies make funny faces?

Lemondrop is still deciding whether he likes Cider. Well, if he wants to get into Lemondrop's good books, he should start by not stealing his favourite yellow ball!


I think Cider will fit into the family quite nicely, he's just got to learn his place. Lemondrop, Milkshake and Cider .... in that order! (and not like another book I know, "The Cider House Rules")
