THERE ARE THREE THINGS I’VE NEGLECTED TO TELL YOU: Ashley, Mom and Dale all have dogs now.

Meet Bennie:

Named after our favorite song, Bennie and the Jets, Bennie is a  four month old Jack Russel Terrier. He is Ashley and Niel’s dog (more Niel’s than Ashley’s most days I believe).

Here’s Bennie shortly after we arrived at Bryce Canyon – which I have neglected to blog about. I’ll get to that in five years I assume.

Here he is the next morning. Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. THE NEXT MORNING. Only in Utah can it be 90 degrees one day, and snow a foot deep the next.

I like to tell people that Bennie bugs me, but secretly, I love him.

Don’t tell.

He’s pretty much nuts, but loves to sit on the porch all day, play fetch, knock over aspen and steal Eddie’s toys.

Stay tuned. . .two adorable puppies coming up next!
