A Horse Is A Horse... of course, of course

Unless of course the horse is actually a Great Dane!

Meet the newest addition to our family, Otis.

Now when we picked him out at the tender age of two weeks he seemed small enough. Now at six weeks old he's a whopping 19 1/2 pounds! 19 1/2 pounds of blue-eyed terror! I've got the marks to prove it... How could something this innocent and angelic looking possibly reak this much havoc?

I swear he thinks I'm his personal chew toy and our faithful dog Ginger takes none too kindly to it either. But then, lo and behold, we get this cutie every once in a while, sleeping on our couch, sometimes chasing some unknown foe in his sleep, and somehow we forget that he wakes us up every 2 hours at night. *sigh* Cuteness, a puppy's best defense.
