Timi.. our new pet

This is cross posted at Missions and Theology.

We were sad when our pet dog Sam was killed in an accident. He was the object of affection for my children for several months and we still feel sad every time we remember him. Yesterday, somebody gave us another dog and we are very happy to have her. We named her Timi (from itim which is the tagalog word for "black." She is a cross bred of a Black Labrador (mother) and perhaps a beagle (father). We are now very careful not to let her wander too far.
