Meet the newest addition to the family... Lotus Blossom. On Wednesday, Carrie presented Joe with a tiny Shih-tzu puppy. It was a total surprise to Joe. Carrie and Lou and spent the day shopping and Carrie had been wanting to buy a gift for her dad and when she saw puppies for sale she talked it over with her mom and it was agreed this would be a great gift. The puppy was the most loved on little thing at the reunion. She is soooo precious! Joe named her Lotus Blossom. She waddles when she walks and runs and she loved carrying sticks in her mouth and eathing grass. She is a snuggler too. Lou was carrying her in a purse when she and Carrie arrived back at the pavillion where we all met for dinner each night. At first no one realized she had a puppy until Carrie told Joe she had a gift for him. What a darling addition to the family!
