depending on how you look at it, it could be an upgrade...

the old remy...

the new remy...

i have to admit, i wasn't the biggest fan of the old remy (aka my sister's practice child). he liked to lick your toes, he'd pee when he got excited or scared, and he and luca were not friends. but i have to say i do miss the little bugger. and i did feel really bad when they had to give him away. at least he went a good home with people who'll love him and play with him rather than lock him up in his "home". i'd like to think that remy is happy. let's hope he fares better than my sister's other dog...boxer..um, i mean baby. that's a whole other story....
