Our new addition!

This is our dog Link. He is...um...a little special. Link is afraid of water, tile, loud noises, pretty much everything. He walks backwards on the tile, he is a nut. We love him to death but he is just so timid we can't take him anywhere. He won't go into Pet'smart at all because he is afraid of the floor, yep tile. So we have been thinking about getting him a friend. I have been looking into different types of breeds, Link is a Staffordshire Terrior (pitt bull). I know what you think, pitt bull=lock jaw. Don't worry I thought the same thing. But Link's breeder, Bill, is amazing! He is so into his dogs. He actually makes you sign a form that if you don't want your dog anymore you have to give him back, you can't sell them to anyone else. Bill even checks up on all of his dogs once a year, and if he doesn't like how the dog is being treated he will take them back.

So I have looked into a couple of small dogs. I even looked into being a foster home for dogs, but our house didn't pass the requirments-our backyard isn't fenced in. Then Bill, who is Brent's friend, asked us if we would take one of his puppies. He had a female puppy that he wanted to keep and breed later but he didn't have any room. Bill said we could have her if we didn't fix her. I was fine with getting a free puppy who isn't crazy timid. So here is our new addition Abbey.


Isn't she cute! Rylee absoluetly loves her. Ry will get up at 7 in the morning to let Abbey outside, she helps me watch her when she is outside. And Abbey is starting to listen more to Rylee than me. It is so cute. Having Abbey around has been great for Link. He is starting to act more like a normal dog. I was worried about having 2 dogs around but after a week of having Abbey I don't think I will ever go back to just one dog.


Aren't they cute together




Abbey fell asleep like this and she is actually on Brent's foot

That is her water dish, and yes she is asleep.

She is so so cute Monica! I was thinking I would love to get another dog to keep Bella company too - oh so tempting. I'm one or two pets away from being the crazy animal lady on our block. Geez. Congrats on the new "baby."
And P.S. I am so happy to see that Jill is finally freakin pregnant! They will be the best parents. Tell them I said congrats!
