This is such a great family portrait (except for son, Matthew, who had school today)!!  This is the Christopher Taylor family with the very newest addition,  Rusty. Pictured from left to right are Christopher, Jasmin, Crystal and Rusty, and Justin who will be three years old in April. Rusty is a Miniature Dachshund, born on December 3rd, and shown here at his first Puppy Plan appointment on February 22, 2002, when he weighed in at a whopping 3.4 pounds! The Taylors tell us that Rusty  does all of the typical puppy things , such as chewing on everything that he  should  not chew on, but he will soon learn what are his toys and what are not.  Jasmin will help  teach him, and the children  will learn lots about responsibility and love from both  dogs, so a new  puppy is always a good thing - the whole family  will have fun with him!
