Zeus: Our Newest Family Member

About two months ago, Rachelle called me at work. An interesting conversation ensued:
"Dad, we got a new dog!"
"Is it stuffed?"
"No, it's a black lab puppy."
"Very funny. You're joking, right?"
"No, Ariana's horseback riding teacher was giving away puppies. Mom said we could have one!"
Once I recovered from my shock over the idea that Crystal would ever agree to get a second dog, I realized that Rachelle was serious. A few minutes later, Crystal and the girls picked me up from work, and I observed that Rachelle was, indeed, holding a tiny black lab puppy. He was beautiful, the blackest black dog I've ever seen.
Now lets fast forward to today. Zeus, as we finally named him, is almost twice the size of our beagle Gracie. He's been a wonderful addition to our family, contributing to our healing when we needed it the very most. It's about time he showed up on the blog, so Crystal took some pictures of him today. Here are a few of our favorites.
