MEET NELLY!



Nelly is the newest addition to the Reeves family. She is so sweet and the runt of the litterWe had the choice between her and her brother. It was a difficult decision, but in the long run we were both drawn to her and feel that she will be a sweet addition to our home. Her birthday is October 1, 2007 and I think we've decided that her full name will be Nelly Reinhold Reeves-to keep the Reinhold name going. We get to pick her up next weekend and we are both soooooooooo excited, but at the same time nervous about raising a pup. We are spending this week to buy Nelly some things and to read up on the best ways of training her. We can't wait for you to meet her!
