Introducing the newest member of our family........

San Tan Lilli Ann!

Born: September 7, 2008

Part of our family: November 23rd

Female, Cocker Spaniel

Name came from - San Tan - we live near an area called the San Tans, Lilli is from Lillie Langtry - because we loved the movie "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean", starring Paul Newman, where Judge Bean loved Lillie Langtry, he never met her but described himself as her "champion and ardent admirer", and finally Ann, is a nod to my sister-in-law's middle name... she got a real kick that the puppy shared her (and mine) middle name.

The last picture is the introduction of the new puppy with the resident cat, "the Dude". Not great friends yet, but promising.
