I know the majority of the readers of this blog have meet our newest family member Doug but I don't feel like he's been formally introduced. We picked him up from Cedar City two weeks ago yesterday. Much do our dismay he was much larger than the pictures online showed. Felicia thought she'd be able to carry him around in her purse but soon realized she didn't even want to let him sit on her lap too long. We've finally decided the full registered name for Doug is, "Sir Douglas von Cypress". "Sir" because he is such a gentleman, "Douglas" because we love the name, "von" which is German for "from" and "Cypress" which is the family Cedar trees come from. Hence he is "The gentleman Douglas from Cedar" or Cedar City that is. Just one week after we got him he developed "cherry eye", which is common with the breed, and we had to send him into surgery to get it fixed. That explains the cone on his head. Doug is full of personality and funny antics which keeps us smiling and laughing. His puppy eyes and quick desire to please bodes well for him because the desire to drown him is often there. Doug has had a particularly rough day today and has heard the word "NO!" way too many times for one day. Well when he went to Mom and Dad's for lunch he decided to get back at us by plopping a dirt clod into Felicia's shoe.
