We started out the New Year on a sad note.  Cheryl and Kent's big 5 year old New Foundland dog died on Dec 31, 2011 as a result of finding some rat poison at a neighbor's.  Gwin was a very sweet dog.  By Jan 1, 2012, they had gotten a new 5 week old Newfie puppy Avalon, and she was a wild little pup and certainly a distraction.  She is very big a year later and still growing.  Her father weighs 220 pounds, so she could get very big!  Lance is about 8 years old now and doing well.
