We added a puppy to the mix over 4th of July weekend. Brandon has wanted to get another lab since we moved, but I have been hesitant with also having a new baby and because of the fact that we still have a lot of work to do around the yard, which means lots of mud and mess for a puppy. However, with Sadie going to school in September we decided that this would be a good time for a puppy. Wyatt is such an animal lover and while Cooper likes to play outside, Wyatt practically begs for people to play outside with him. He wants to be out all day, and without Sadie we figured he might need another buddy to play with.
So, we spent the weekends in June building Zoey a kennel and a dog house, and on the 4th of July we got to go and pick out our puppy. The kids were so excited and fell in love with her right away. Of course some of the novelty has worn off as she is a puppy and loves to jump on them and inevitably scratches and bites them a bit, but when we got her she was young, only 6 weeks old, and she really just slept a lot giving us plenty of time to cuddle with her.
Even Hazel got out there to watch Daddy work on Zoey's house.
Wyatt got the first turn holding Zoey as we brought her home. She is after all his little buddy as Sadie keeps reminding us :)
Sadie loves the puppy too although nothing compares to her love for her kitty!
Cooper... well he mostly bulldozed the puppy, but I guess that's only fair as the puppy has spent the last 2 months getting him back.

They may invade her space just a bit.
A Boy and His Puppy!
Hazel loves Zoey Too!!!
You know you're loved when you get to sleep with the coveted blankie!
Sweet Dreams!
