The big news for the month of February was the new addition we acquired.  Katy's little schnauzer was killed last August and ever since she has wanted a beagle....so....we now have Nellie.  She is a full blooded speckled beagle (I guess some times they are called a blue tic beagle).  I never knew there was such a thing, but we have one now.  And oh, what a personality she has!!!!
