My sister Emily has just returned from her cruise in the South Pacific. She called me yesterday to let me know that during the trip she got engaged to her long time partner Troy. I couldn’t be happier for them both and I’m so pleased that Troy will be joining our family.

Today’s photo of their boy Russ is dedicated to the happy event. I know Emily’s been waiting ever so patiently for her boy to show up on the blog.

We aren’t really sure how old Russ is because he was found as a stray. He’s the most gentle dog I know and has such a laid back presence. Even when he runs after a ball he looks like he’s doing it in slow motion.

Ok, so here’s a little bit of fun for the day. Check out this quiz to see what type of dog you are.
