We have a NEW addition to our family! Any guesses??? Well....we got a DOG!!!!! haha. Sorry if that got any other ideas going through your head. :-)
Yep. Believe it or not, we bought a dog. Those of you who know me, know that I could go my entire life without ever having a dog--even though I grew up with one. I don't know what it is, I just could care less about having a dog--no pee and poop in the house, no dog hair, no barking, etc. BUT, the idea of Isaac playing with the dog outweighed my own feelings, and I caved.
Our brother-in-law Brett hooked us up with a guy in Burley where Brett got his own dog. Sure enough, this guy in Burley had a seven week old black lab puppy. Bingo. We found out on Thursday of this week and went and got him today.
He is a really really cute dog and it was so fun to see Isaac react to him when we got him. He kept pointing at him and saying "da-da" and then the dog would come up to him and Isaac would attempt to pet him, it was really cute!
So, without further adieu, here is our new puppy:
Isn't he cute???? (FYI: That's a pretty impressive phrase coming from ME!) But, I do think he is a cutie! And I've even played with him and pet him and picked him up....you gotta give me credit for that!Once he is about 6-8 months old we will take the dog back to Burley and the guy we got him from will actually train him. Taylor wants to train him to be a "Flusher." What that means is that when he goes hunting, he can take the dog and the dog will "flush" the birds out so they fly up in the air and then you can shoot the birds. So, this dog is not only our family dog, he is the hunting dog too!
We have decided to name him Cougar and call him "Coug." Do we know Taylor's side of the family is going to harass us for this? Yep. Are we BYU fans? Yep. Do we care what you think about it? Nope. :-)
So, that's our exciting news for the day! We think it has been a very fun thing for our little family to get this dog!

He's adorable. We have two dogs and there have been many times when I've wondered, "What were we thinking?" But Kate loves them and I've grown to love them too. Good luck with potty training.
