New Family Member!

We have a new member of the family that I'd like to introduce to you.
(picture coming)

His name is Dietrich (not diet-rich as we discovered it could be mispronounced at the vet, it's actually pronounded d-trick --or close enough anyways)

Dietrich is a 2-year-old stray that was not claimed by his owner (poor guy) and so now he has come to live with us. Animal control thought he was a lab-border collie mix. But essentially he looks like a black Irish Setter with a lab face. He's super cute.

Dietrich is really smart and already knows how to "sit" "stay" "come" "lay down" "shake" and "fetch" (the only dog I've ever had that actually brings the ball back AND drops it in your hand) He also kind of gets the idea of "roll-over" but we're kind of still working on that one. Another great thing is that he doesn't bark much. He does currently have a cough--we're hoping it clears up soon with some good love and care (the vet didn't know what it was, so what else can we do?).
