Pinot the Poodle (Oregon)

Some of you already know that Andy and I adopted a standard poodle last weekend and named him Pinot. He’s black and so fluffy it seems criminal. Naturally, we’ve been very busy keeping up with the demands of a nine-week-old puppy, but we’ve certainly fallen in love with his goofy face and sweet disposition!

Linda celebrated our new family member with this handmade card, and a very touching and accurate message on the back. She is the best dog-whisperer I know, and the person I turn to first for advice on so many topics (work, co-workers, career, friends, baking, plants) and now of course dog-raising.
