Kaeleigh King IL

Three boys smiling with a brown dog in a home setting.

A quick update: 1) We have officially named her Kaeleigh (sounds like Kaylee), and she seems to be OK with it. 2) She is much more puppy-like than I’d anticipated — lots of chewing, from the boys’ toys to my desk chair to our shoes, but if we work hard at redirecting her or take…
