Meet our new baby

Jason and I had decided a while ago that when we got our house that we would get another dog. We looked and looked and found a lot. But we were being pretty picky as to what we wanted because Kash is such an awesome dog that we wanted to find one that could learn from him.

It took me a couple months of actively looking. I looked basically every day i could on craigslist, Facebook pages, in newspapers all across the state, animal rescues and humane societies and just couldn't find what we were looking for. 

We specifically wanted another pit bull. Last week I had kind of given up hope after i had found several and Jason would say no not that one. I decided to just get on craigslist and look one more time and if i couldn't find anything then i would just wait. Well turns out i found exactly what we were looking for and i contacted the people right away. Just so happens that they had 5 male puppies left and that he was travelling to Missoula this weekend. He sent me pictures of all the puppies and once Jason and I looked at them all we decided on this little guy.

The anticipation of waiting to pick him up was crazy! I have never had my own puppy before. We have always had dogs but usually have gotten them from the shelter. He is literally like my little fur baby. We kept it a secret from Kendall, I wanted it to be a surprise from her (plus if i told her it would have been all she talked about for days). 

Saturday finally came, i was really excited and could hardly wait. We loaded up in the car and met the guy and i showed Kendall and she said "Mom this is the best surprise ever!!!"

She just wanted to cuddle and sit with him on the way home but he was pretty whiny so I got to cuddle him and he eventually fell asleep.

Kash did go with us when we picked him up, mainly cause Kash goes pretty much everywhere with us, but also so they could meet and they loved each other right away.

His name is Kabo (like Cabo) and he fits right in. For some reason though and it may be because she is small and wears bright colors but whenever Kendall is around him he just chews and jumps on her like crazy. We are trying to work on it with him but he is only 7 weeks old so he will grow out of it.

She did manage to get some cuddles in last night while he was tired and she really liked that. He does sleep with Kash every night and usually only gets up about once in the middle of the night to be let out. Potty training has been pretty good. We just watch him and make sure that we take him out a lot. He has had very few accidents in the house.

Happy Tuesday!
