Yes, this is correct Patty and I got a new dog. Patty was feeling very sad missing Tippy on Friday when I shared with her about a village in the countryside that had all kinds of little puppies. The next day when we were out walking with friends, we visited the village and while looking at one group of puppies another woman told us about her puppies. So we went and checked them out and Patty found this big guy and could not live without him, so we asked how much. The woman said 10 Yuan ($1.50) but her mother upped it to 30 Yuan ($4.25). Since then we have taken him in for shots, bought all kinds of toys, bowls, and food, so the price is up to about $27. He has learned lots in his two days here, from how to climb up and down the stairs, to go walking in the countryside (very narrow paths and lots of rocks to climb), what a snake looks like, and how to follow anyone who is nearby. He is quite the cutie and the students seem to like him a ton. We will post more as we grow up together.
