Hermione

Welcoming home our new puppy, Hermione!

Our friend Andrea's dog, Daisy, had a huge litter of puppies and we were blessed to be able to make a home for one of her smaller female dogs. Hermione is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and South African Boerboel mix. Our children had a great evening wrestling with her and helping Henry and Reese get use to having a new puppy around.

This morning, Reese was very affectionate and spent nearly an hour grooming poor little Hermione. Henry is tolerating her, but still not sure what to make of this new addition. She is the small fry right now, but given her huge paws and breed it won't be long before she is the big dog in our yard.

We spent a long time thinking about names with our kids, and yes we were considering lots of candy bar names, but in the end we felt Hermione just fit the best!
