Hurley


Since our other dogs have been gone for over a month I think our family has gone through a little withdrawal.  We were hoping to find a smaller dog that the kids would be able to help with more.  We have always wanted a miniature pinscher but didn't want to pay a huge amount for one.  Well, last Tuesday Nate called me from work and said that he had found one!! Apparently our neighbor's friend lost her job and had to move to a place that didn't accept pets so they took in her miniature pinscher.  Well they already had another dog and the two didn't get along that well, so he heard that we were looking for a smaller dog and asked to see if we wanted to keep it.  Well, of course we said yes (especially since he is already housetrained, is purebred, has a microchip, and is really good with the kids!)  We couldn't believe our luck!! The kids named him Hurley and we are having so much fun with him.  
Saturday we went to the Kite Festival to get the kids their free kites and then we took Hurley up to Hidden Valley Park to fly the kites!! It was fun being able to take him with us!! The kids have enjoyed each taking turns caring for him!! They absolutely love him to death!!! 

Brynlei loves to hold him!!  She loves it best when he sits in her lap!

Awe that's fun. We have a min pin but she is a handful and not very good with kids haha. Just not very used to them. He's really cute!
