PUPPY!!!!!!

So the Hall/Mohr household got an early Christmas present this year in the form of a 7-week old black toy poodle we named Chester. He's from the 'hood (his parents live about three blocks away) and he's bound to be Ernie's bestie.
Also, Mommy likes him a whole lot. Daddy did a good job surprising us.
Chester being ferocious on the night Mommy was surprised by his presence.

He's almost as tall as our baseboards!

Ernie and Chester like to scamper around in the yard. So far they play pretty well together!

But if Ernie's on all fours, Chester's all up in his bizznezz. Ern will say "tight!" like Chester's just tried to scootch him too far into a table and ask us to "hold him!"
