Introducing Autzen

Brother Nick called me yesterday to tell me that he and Megan had added another member to their family - Autzen the German Shepherd. Born on December 25, Autzen is a totally cute, fairly calm puppy with huge paws and sharp little puppy teeth. It had previously been suggested that we loan Beauty to Nick and Megan if they ever got a puppy so upon hearing the news Darr and I packed up the Beauty the wonder dog essentials and headed to Newberg with Beaut in the backseat. The idea behind having an older dog present when a puppy is brought home is simple - the older dog helps with training the younger dog.

I'm not sure how excited Beaut is to be on puppy patrol. When we left her last night she looked like this:
This is her "I can't believe you are abandoning me here with this puppy" look. She's quite the actress.

And yes, Autzen is named after the Ducks Stadium. Brother Nick and Megan are Ducks fans.
