Our New Furry Family Member

We have all been incredibly lonely without Charlie, so we decided to get another dog. Last weekend we went to Woodstock Animal Foundation and found a sweet little puppy named Johnny. He seemed to bond with us quickly and was so sweet! He gave all of us big, wet kisses when we held him. We filled out the adoption papers and went home, where we anxiously awaited a call to see if we were selected to adopt the puppy. The next afternoon we were approved to adopt Johnny, so we rushed to go pick him up at Pet Smart. Everyone was excited when we got home, especially Parker, who wagged his tail when we introduced him to his new buddy. We decided to call our new puppy Patch. It seems perfect for a dog that looks like he has an "X" on his chest like a pirate treasure map!

Patch is adjusting well to his new home. He is playful, but settles down easily. He loves to play with Parker and to discover new things outside. He also enjoys being held, which is great, because we love to hold him!

Welcome home, Patch! We love you!

Evan was really excited that we were able to bring Patch home, so he called Bonnie Mom and Grandpa to tell them the good news!

Evan adores Patch! I am sure they will be good friends!

Daddy loves Patch too! (Of course, what is there NOT to love about Patch?)

Evan wanted a group picture of "the boys" of the house. (Preston was tired and not in the mood for a picture.)

Patch was excited to be home! What a cutie pie!

I love our sweet little guy!

Parker and Patch are so sweet together. (Now, if only Parker could control Patch's energy level!)
