How could we have a blog and not mention the newest addition to the Mattei flock, Tipitina. in October of 2007, Mom and Dad coerced us to go to the Jefferson Parish Humane Society to look at dogs, never imagining we'd find anything as cute as Tipi. She was scared at first, but very soon she turned into her normal bust of energy self. They gave us her, the cat collar she had on, and not much else (oh, besides the worms, mange, and who knows what else!). They even let us take her unspayed! But don't worry, she got her nip tuck quickly. Actually the week before our anniversary. We thought it would be a good idea then to take her that week, so she'd be under their supervision for our 1st Anniversary weekend. Well, long story short, we ended up taking a drugged up dog with us to Lake Hartwell for the weekend. But, with all the vet bills and terrorizing of the cats, we still love her. Who wouldn't love that face?

The ride home from New Orleans, notice the Saints dogtag!
Tipi's fist visit to work with me. Tiny!
I brought her bed, and her very first toy, wiener (R.I.Pieces on the floor)

This "coerced" statement doesn't fly. Two moping Mattei's are shuffling around. Dad says "Do you want to drive out to the Humane Society?" Two eager Mattei's in the back seat saying "Let's go." They find this mutt and grin like Cheshire cats 'Nuff said.
