A Furry Friend...for my achy breaky heart.

Funny story: When I was trying to decide if I should stay or go to Austria, in a moment of motherly panic my mom declared a promise to me. She said (and I quote) "IF YOU STAY IN AMERICA YOU CAN HAVE A PUPPY."

Nuff' said.

Meet "Oscar America". He is a chocolate lab and has been keeping Shea and myself indulged in cute land for the past two days. How is it that baby creatures don't make things better at all but somehow make things seem a little okay?

I love my puppy and he loves me.
