Addition to the family...

Well for some more current updates: For the last week we have been dog sitting Oreo and Mocha for a coworker. She got orders to the lower 48 and sold her house and was trying to get it all clean and the puppies weren't getting enough attention so she asked if Zach would be willing to run them for a few days. Of course it was not a problem as they are house trained, kennel trained and just amazing dogs. They are both so affectionate and sweet and love Zach.

Sadly for their owner she found out how expensive it was going to be to fly these two back to the lower 48 and decided that with her human baby being born in a few months a few thousand dollars was a lot of money that she would really be able to do a lot with. I know she is heart broke as she has had both Oreo and Mocha since they were puppies. Well, I am happy to say that with much pleading on my part to Kevin we are going to keep Mocha safe in our home and make sure she is loved for the rest of her life. Kevin was hesitant with the passing of Champ not to long ago and he really wasn't sure that we needed more commotion going on but knowing that she is so well behaved and so mellow and hearing how much Zach and I have both fallen in love with her he agreed as long as he didn't have to claim her she could stay. And he made it known that he was not picking up poop or anything! I know that it won't take long for him to warm up to her though because you just can't help it. I know at first glance she is not so easy on the eyes but if you spent 2 minutes with her you would see the most ugly cuteness you will ever see. She is actually a yellow lab/jack russel terrior mix. So she loves to run but the minute she is indoors she just chills out and calms down. I know Oreo will find a loving and good home. He is a gentle giant. I just couldn't stand to watch Mocha have to leave and not be given the chance to show someone how great she is. I love her presence and the excitement she brings to Zach. He spends most of his time playing tug-o-war and hide and seek now! Yes she loves to run around and find where he is hiding!

Who could turn down that beautiful sweet face. I couldn't let her go to a shelter! She has made herself at home already I think. She is a perfect lady and I look forward to her spending the rest of her life with our family.
