Steven and Shepherd, and a new dog

Since he was a baby, Soren has had his "Little Mags" -- a stuffed animal Boston Terrier, to match our real Boston Terrier Maggie.

We wanted to get a stuffed animal for Shepherd to grow up with and we wanted it to have some type of connection with our lives.  Soren was the smart one in our family and decided that a German Shepherd dog was the right choice.
