What a happy   family!! These are the Shults children, from the left, Belton,Derek, Halley, and Holly, and their Dad's new Doberman puppy, Axel.  Axel was born in October of 1998 and weighed in at a whopping 20.4 pounds for his Puppy Plan appointment on December 31st. The children say that "He is a good puppy who eats a lot of puppy chow" - at this rate, he will grow up to  be a big, beautiful  friend! What a great way to start off the new year!!
