A Historic Day

Today its official.  We have adopted a new member of the family.  Mikey is ours to keep.  Hard to believe, I know.

Here's what we know about him so far.  He was born April 26, 2013, and now we can add he was adopted June 20, 2013, from a rescue organization called Hands, Hearts and Paws.  The name they  had given him was "Spirit" and his mom was "Gypsy."  He weighed 2.5 lbs when we first met him.  We dont know his current weight.  He's a sleepy guy so far but that's normal for puppies.  He is far less rambunctious than his sisters who left us today.  They were much more feisty and yappy so Mikey seems to be a "chill" puppy.  We'll see if things stay that way as we get to know him more.  Here's some pictures of that adorable little guy... and I should note that if you ever told me that I would be one of those people showing everyone pictures of their dog, I would have NEVER believed you.  But here we go...

Shortly after his sisters left, we gave Mikey dinner and he didnt eat.  He whimpered and cuddled on our laps and we brought him into the house to start introducing him to his new home. 

Poor little guy was noticeably sad and took great comfort in his froggy.

Gradually he perked up.

And he even seemed a little playful after a bit.  He got this little chew toy and a matching blanket (thats in the background) from the agency.  He seems to really like chewing on it.

aaaaawwwwhhhhh

And then while we ate dinner, he took a nap.

And here's a few pictures of him and his sisters before they left

4 kids and 3 puppies... that was one BUSY week!
