Our new Puppy addition

Okay, yes we have a new little puppy and we just love him!

We had a really random weekend including our surprise purchase of a puppy. My mom called me on Friday the 14th to tell me that her neighbor had Miniture Dachshunds for sell and asked if we wanted one. Since our family reunion in July, we've been thinking about getting a mini dachshund because we fell in love with my brother's mini dachshund, Gabby.

Friday night we went back and forth whether or not to do it. While we were thinking about it, we went up the canyon for a ward camp out. (It was fun until we decide to pack up our stuff and leave at 2AM because we hadn't slept a wink due to loud people in the neighboring campsite, non-related to our ward).

Saturday I needed to let my mom know what we had decided about the puppy. Brock and I told her that we weren't going to do it and she called the neighbor and told her we weren't going to buy the dog. About 10 minutes after that, Brock came in from outside and said "Pack your stuff and we're going to go get a dog". I called my mom back and she went and got the dog for us.

We made plans to meet in Idaho to pick up our new puppy. We spent our entire Saturday on the road but it was well worth it!

Thanks mom and dad for being good sports and doing us a HUGE favor, you're the best!!!

Our meeting spot was a the Flying J truck stop outside Pocatello, we also ate a "fancy" dinner there at the restaurant.

Pretty RANDOM..huh?

Mom & Dad just loved having the puppy for a couple hours, they were really sad to turn him over to us.
This is him.....so sweet!

He's a different kind of mini dachshund, he's called a "Silver Dapple" duchshund. Notice his different markings and his coat, it's absolutely adorable.

His parents were really tiny and so he will probably be 6-8lbs full grown.

He already loves to lay on our couch pillows. I don't know what it is about those darn pillows, KaiKai loved them too.
He has the sweetest personality and is really quite mellow. He gets a short burst of energy but I think with his stubby little legs he doesn't last very long playing. He gets a little overwhelmed in our lawn because it's as tall as him (yes, it needs to be mowed). He's pretty much potty trained so we're really happy about that!
