Meet the newest member of the AMERICAblog team

Joe got a dog. His name is Petey. He's freaking adorable. Joe adopted him from the Washington Humane Society this afternoon. Like Boomer, who passed away last week, Petey is a cocker spaniel. And let me tell you, the dog is sweet. He's a tad protective at times - is still doing the bark at strangers thing - but he's just a very sweet, mild-mannered, affectionate dog. I decided to film the trip to pick up Petey today, and created a little video. For you dog lovers, enjoy - for the rest of you, sorry. :-)
