Yes we bought a Puppy

Not sure what it was that we were thinking…. but yes we bought a puppy.  

It all started at swim team, when a dad of a  friend of Caleb’s brought in their shih tzu.   Caleb actually thought it was cute, proceeded to pet him (instead of climbing on my head) and ask questions about his temperment.  Then he proceeded to keep asking us for one.   This from the boy who climbed up on top of the van roof last time there was a smallish-medium dog around him.   

So fast forward to piano lessons, and Caleb tells his teacher how he now wants a dog, a shih tzu.   She lets us know her vet actually has one up for adoption sinc eit had been abandoned by it’s owner.   It has been there for 2 months or so.   We go to visit with the kids, and Lauren is a little jumpy, but Caleb gets down and though a little skittish, he handles the dog.   That afternoon we go again with my husband to see how the dog would do with him.   Well, I don’t know the dogs past (neither did the vet), but the dog coward in front of my husband and tried to nip him when trying to pick him up.   Hmm no good.

That night my husband starts searching the puppy sell ads.  There was a puppy for sale, in a town about an hour away, that I just happen to be heading to the next day.  It was a done deal.

 I picked him up and we drove home.   He had never been in a car for long before so he got sick (ewww).   But has done great ever since.

Meet Harry:

Heather has taken him over.   She pets him, feeds him, carries him…. basicallybothers him the entire time he is out of his crate.   On an upside, she can actually put him in his crate!!

And after taking him to the vet, we took him to get a bath (to wash off the smells of his old home) and get groomed.   He got the Puppy Treatment:

Isn’t he cute???
