Steve

Last weekend we went to Petsmart to get some cat food, and the next thing I knew my mom had me holding a puppy while she checked out.

A few puppies had been abandoned at the store that morning. Most of the puppies were able to find new homes that day, but this little guy was the last one left. Somehow, my mom managed to get from the cat food aisle to the other side of the store, and she immediately fell in love with one very sleepy pup.

He had a lot of energy when we got him home, so we stayed outside to play. He rolled and jumped and chased Briley and Penny for the better part of an hour before crashing. He's got a sweet little personality and is adjusting well. He's now seven weeks old, loves sleeping in the cat carrier, and has the best smile.

Meet Steve, my mom's little Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix.
