This is Leland. My husband (at the time, fiancé) in June of 2008 got me Leland. We had been in a long distance relationship for a little over 4 years. The long distance was taking a toll on me emotionally and Logan thought it was a great idea for me to have someone to cuddle with at night. A real-live stuffed animal. So, Logan told me (while at work) go see the puppy, and ONLY get it if it’s cute. OF COURSE it was going to be cute, it’s a PUPPY! So, I drove to Camden, South Carolina and brought Leland home to his new family. Here’s his brief bio:

(Leland’s first photo on the car ride home from Camden.)

Full Name: Leland Warrick Edwards

Logan chose his middle name. For all of you non-Star Wars freaks (me included), Warrick is the last name of some of the greatest Ewoks. Logan thought the name was the perfect name for Leland, since there is such a great similarity between him and the great Ewoks.

I don’t think I could have asked for a better dog. Leland is the most lovable, down-to-earth, and playful dog out there.  My goal is to share with you all photographs of Leland that always put a smile on my face. 😀

Ciao!

Caroline + Leland
