Saved from the dinner table...

---

We got a puppy!!!

Her name is Xiao Jin (it means little gold in Chinese) and she was born on April 7th. She's a golden retriever and absolutely adorable. We will, of course, be taking her home with us in August. She will ride in the cargo --not with the luggage in a separate compartment that will be the same temp as the passenger area. The US only requires that she has rabies vaccination, but we will be getting most of her shots done here, because it's much MUCH cheaper. We've had her for 3 weeks, and we've potty trained her to go on paper. We took her for a walk to culture square--it was her first time out of the house and on a leash and she loved it!

We're coming home on the 26th of August and then will be leaving to go up north for a week the day after that. We plan to ship most of our luggage home instead of bringing it on the plane, because it's such a hassle and so expensive.

That's all for now, I'll try to update more often, but I'm quite busy now that it's summer time.

THAT TITLE SCARES ME...SAVE FROM THE DINNER TABLE
She is adoreable. As you know, I am a big fan of Golden Retrievers...since I own one. Nice choice. Can't wait to see you.

Cute, but hard to say her name
Geneva, You should have put the pronunciation for Xiao (Cheow?). It's going to be hard to call her three times real fast. Can we call her Jin for short? Anyway, can't wait until you get back home and start your new adventures in Michigan. I love you and miss you! Mom
