Description

This is my husband's new baby. He is a chocolate lab named Rooster after the John Wayne character, Rooster Cogburn. Rooster is an orphan because his Mommy had complications with the birth of the litter, so Rooster came home to us a lot sooner than was expected and has to be fed a bottle every three hours. He is only two weeks old in this picture. We love him already!
