New Addition

Bear has been doing a big kitchen remodel for the past 1 1/2 months and the people he is doing it for, he has has known for about 5 years and they are dog lovers just like we are! One day while he was working on the kitchen, the wife came home with a new dog and Bear fell in LOVE with her (the dog :). It was an itty bitty yorkie that weighed about 1 pound. Everyday Bear would come home and talk about how cute she was. I believe that was when he started contemplating getting another dog.

I have been asking for another dog for a couple of years now. Not just because I wanted another one, but Toby really needed a friend to play with during the day. I felt bad that Toby had no one to play with. All he would do was eat, sleep, and lay on the couch when we were home. I know we should of gone out on walks on stuff with him, shame on us.

So we started looking online for yorkies and soon realized that there was NO way we could afford one. We saw one for $3000! Seriously ridiculous. They most I would ever pay for a dog is $400. So we soon realized that we would not be getting a yorkie :(
So we started looking at Chihuahuas again, but a tea cup this time. We were kind of hesitant about getting a Chihuahua because they are known to be yappy mean little dogs. We got super lucky Toby because he is the complete opposite. He only barks 3 times when someone rings the doorbell, he loves to cuddle on the couch, he doesn't bite or nip, he is playful with other dogs and kids, he is a GREAT listener,etc.

As we were looking on a website we saw a tea cup Chihuahua and instanly we both fell in love with his sweet little face and Bear called the lady to see if he was still for sale. The price also sold us, she was only asking $100. When she said he was, we made an appt to stop by the next day to go and take a look at him and we brought Toby so we could see how they would interact with eachother. When the little dog came running out the door, I immediatley fell in love with him and knew we just had to have him. Him and Toby sniffed eachother for a few minutes and then started playing with eachother and seemed that they would get along. We gave the lady the money and off we were with our new addition.




His name is Taco and he is the cutest dog and fun to have around! He is only 10 weeks now so we are still trying to potty train him and all the other fun stuff that comes along with a new puppy. Him and Toby getting along great! They chase eachother all the time which is great because it wears them out when night time comes. I love having Toby and Taco here!
