On June 30, 2001, we lost our beloved Chewy. He was a great dog and his passing has left a very big hole in our lives. On September 8, 2001, in an effort to fill a little part of the void left by his death, we got "Aleka" (please excuse the dog hair on the floor ... with two dogs its hard to keep up with it *sigh*).

Aleka and Bocephus are great buds ... just take a look for yourself

We can't get over how fast she is growing. It seems like she is noticely bigger when we get home after working all day. Here she is with Bo just 1 month after the picture above!
