Our new family member

I know it didn't take long but we decided to get another dog. It's just too sad in our house without one. So we didn't start out our day today thinking we were going to come home with a dog but that's what happened. We actually are looking for another car. We sold mine last week and are looking for another one for Jared to drive. I'm driving his truck so we're looking for something for him to buy. So we drove all the way to Fort Worth but didn't end up getting the car. On the way back I thought we should stop and just look at the dogs at the Dallas Aninal Shelter. So we found a perfect (so we thought) dog. His name is Dex and he's about 3 yrs old. He's alot calmer than alot of the ones that were there. He's a Pointer mix. He is so cute. So we decided to adopt him. He did great in the car on the way home. Colt loves him. Dex stuck his face in colt's face and Colt just laughed. So we brouhgt him home and let him in the backyard for a while. Well, I let him back in and he started smelling all around the house. Jared thought he better go back outside but I thought he was just getting to know his new home. Well, needless to say, Jared was right. So I don't know if he really just isn't potty trained or if he could smell Kit and wanted to "mark his spot". So we will be leaving him in the backyard when we're gone until we know he is potty trainined. He is a cutie though. On another note, Colt went to the Dr. yesterday. He weighed 18.3! Wow, he's getting so big! The Dr. was impressed with his progress but still wants us to do the dilating. He gave us a bigger one! But the good thing is, colt doesn't cry much when we do it. I guess it doesn't hurt him as bad anymore. So we will go back in about a month. Okay so here's a few cute pictures of our new family member.


On our way home from the shelter


He already knows how to sit,lay down, and shake! (but I guess he doesn't know where to go to the bathroom)


This is what colt thought of him when we were on our way home


We wore him out. He was so sleepy
