First post

This first post is really a test to figure out how to do this.  I guess I will explain the title of the blog.  The part about the fur is self-explanatory if you've ever visited us (or, sadly, eaten anything food that I've brought to an event!).  We have a chocolate lab named Shelby, and her fur gets into everything, no matter how hard we try to keep it contained.

The second part of the title is from something my husband, Noel, said.  Someone asked him what it was like to be a new dad.  He replied: "I keep finding tiny socks all over the house".  I guess so much changes and it's also highly personal and Noel is not really a "sharing his feelings" kinda guy, so that's what he came up with.  It is funny though how tiny the socks really are.  So, here's a photo of Shelby. (Perhaps the fact that she is more of a couch dog than a floor dog contributes to our fur problem.) I don't have any photos of tiny socks.  : )
