Meet Duncan...

This week we welcomed a 3 month old, 1.5 pound puppy chihuahua to the family! His name is Duncan and he is so much fun. For those of you that remember Randal, we loved him dearly. But he became a little jealous and out of control after we had Landon. He was a really hyper dog and needed lots of attention, which was fine until we had a new baby and Landon became our attention. Eventually we had to give in and we gave him to a good family about a year and half ago, but we have never stopped wanting a dog. Now that Landon is older and loves dogs, we decided to give it another try with a young dog, who will be raised around kids and never know the difference of being "the baby"and having it's roll filled by a really baby. To be honest, on the drive home after getting him, anxiety set in because let's face it, I will be the one home with him all the time. And right now, Landon is full force in his "terrible two's" and alone is hard to deal with some days. But Chris gave me his solemn promise that anytime he is home the dog will be his responsibility, and he will take him out every morning before he leaves for school and work, and will be "extra nice" and help out as much as he can. Well I'm holding him to it! But so far, Duncan has been amazingly mellow and loving, and is learning really fast. He hasn't had any accidents in the house and is really just happy to be around people. We haven't heard his bark yet, and I'm really hoping to keep it that way. For the most part he really just loves having something to cuddle up to, and is happy to just follow us around all day. He is so sweet and cuddly and we just love having in our little family!



This is his preferred sleeping situation if we aren't next to him on the couch.

Holy Cow! I love all the colors he has. Too bad his ears are so tiny though--what a shame!
