Our new addition ...

No you didn't read that wrong ... our family can't seem to stop adopting. This time an animal. I thought after one year I would be finished with dogs. I didn't miss the poop cleanup or the hair. After looking here and there very casually, I fell in love with Gus.

We have no idea of his breed. He has these really short legs, the face of a lab and the body of a beagle. His sister was on site as well and they were listed as part spaniel mix. The sister definitely had the coat of a spaniel. The last dog Nick wanted was a beagle. I am leaning towards thinking that is what he might be. The kids are totally in love, for today. I am realistic. Nick has agreed to the walking. I agreed to the outdoor cleanup. The kids have been helping with both.

He came from North Carolina and was rescued by a wonderful place in West Bend. He was placed in foster care where we met him. His placement was Sunday, October 30th. We had him home on Sunday, November 6th. He will be 4 months old on Tuesday (tomorrow).

In love today ... despite training a puppy again. He is a cuddler and spunky as well.

Tune in for more Gus stories along the way!
