Another New Family Member...

Okay...I was happy with having a fish...very little maintenance and it doesn't cry at night. On Friday Kyle calls me at work...which never happens...and tells me he has a surprise for me. I thought "Yeah...he finally has the romance thing happening and is going to do something sweet!" Then he tells me that he found a puppy at work. He says that he is bringing it home for Kendall. Don't get me wrong....I like dogs....but we do have a newborn that I am still not sure we can afford. The timing was all wrong. He repeatedly reminds me that if we take it to the pound they will gas it...which he describes in detail....and then continues to remind me that it is free, and that Kendall will love it. He was right about Kendall loving it....not about the free part. This "free" puppy has cost us almost $200 up to this point. To top it off, Addison slept all night Friday and Saturday....but we were up with the puppy. Can I not catch a break? I woke up Sunday ready to call the pound, but Kendall is so attached and I kinda like the little guy too....so he is staying. I told Kyle that he would have to get up with him every night...which is starting to wear on him.....which is kinda funny. Kendall named the dog Calvin. He was 5 weeks old and 1.5 pounds when Kyle found him. He is a boxer mixed with who knows what. Here are some pics of the new puppy and a picture of Addison who is 9 weeks old today......wow time sure does fly when you don't have time to breathe.

Calvin just had his first bath and Kendall wanted to keep him warm...she can be so sweet when she wants to be!
