Please welcome Clare!

Clare is the brand new pug puppy who has joined the Minneapolis branch of the Menagerie (headquartered at Mamita's house). She's quite adorable, as you might expect.

We had lots of fun playing with her.

Which of course tired her out. Puppies need lots of sleep.

Even more than grown-up pugs, who need a heck of a lot of sleep as well...

Big brother Rudy is the only one impervious to Clare's puppy cuteness charms. He remains quite annoyed that his calm life has been made more complicated, and steadfastly ignores little Clare, even when she tries to get him to play. Poor Rudy...
