Our new little friend...Kodi!

Anybody that knows my little Addie knows how absolutely obsessed with animals she is....she watches Animal Planet jus about every day...she goes crazy when she sees any animal of any kind. She tells everybody that she is going to be a "Vet...an animal protector" when she grows up. Aaron and I had kicked around a little bit the idea of possibly finding an older dog, small, potty trained dog from the pound. Well while Jocelyn and I were out Chrismas shopping on the Saturday before Chrismas I decided to go make a stop at Petco...I told Jocelyn..."we're making a stop...but don't get your hopes up...we're JUST LOOKING!" Right when we walked in they put these three little puppies in a crate...they had just arrived from where they had been taken out of a home by the Humane Society...I guess an older lady had tons of dogs already and couldn't take care of the puppies. Anyway to make a very long storty short...after standing in the pet store for an hour holding this adorable little puppy, calling several people for advice (most of which I didn't listen to) ... about 3 and a half hours later we showed up at the house with our new puppy! We've now had him for a little over a week...he is such a great puppy, he is super chill, he already goes to the door when he has to go out...for the most part, he sleeps with the kids in their beds...he is a great pal for Addison...she carries him around all day...at first we thought he hated it, but now I'm really starting to believe that he likes it, the other day when all the kids went to the movies with Mammer and Papa and it was just me at the house, he cried just about the whole time! We really love the little guy! He has a big backyard to run around in, the kids don't seem to mind too much having to take care of him...not yet anyway.... All of these pictures were taken the night we brought Kodi home!
