I must have lost my mind...

because today we bought this little guy:



Meet Buddy, the newest member of our family. He was born on November 11 and is 5 weeks old, so he doesn't get to live in his new home until the beginning of January, but he's close by so we get to visit him whenever we want.

Just for comparison to how small he is, here's a picture of Khloe meeting him for the first time.



Buddy is so darn cute and we love him already! Those of you who know me well know that I have always said I would NEVER get a dog, but how can you look at that little face and say no?! My one stipulation was that our dog needs to be small and Buddy will probably be around 8 pounds full grown so he fits the bill perfectly. Kenadie has been begging for a dog for a few years, but even more lately since her friend got one (who also happens to be Buddy's brother). Besides, we only know how to make girls, so I thought Chris deserved to have another boy in the house! :)

Yip, you're right. You've lost your FREAKING mind!! He is a cutie, but just be prepared for him to chew up ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, pee on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, and hump ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in sight!! Good luck!!

Really, I love dogs. They are such a good thing for kids to have and experience. They just aren't that fun when you have to train them as puppies. If you can get through
the next 6 months of his life, you should be fine. ;)

P.S. Congratulations on your 4th child. You beat us to it. (I told you you would end up with a boy next!!)

hahaha....I agree with Melissa, YES you have lost your mind!!! However, he is REALLY cute! Can we just come play with him when ever my kids mention owning a dog?? I can guarantee that will never happen in our house!!

It will be fun for you guys!!! Can't wait to meet him in person!! He is cute!

Is this so you can get back at the neighbors who let their dog poop on your lawn?

What kind of dog is it? Does it shed, or have to be groomed? It's darling! Leah's allergic to dogs, so no dog in our future . . . but it makes me sad.
