We have a new member of the PVE family. She is an 8 week old teddy bear, which is a Shih Tzu and Bichon mix. The kids are in love and we are definitely smitten as well.
The Gala auctioned a teddy bear and brought the dog to school to let all the kids hold her and pet her. The boys were hooked. She is hypoallergenic and non-shedding which we wanted for our friends and family with allegies. We talked about looking for a dog once we moved, looked at shelters, on petfinder and at the petshop. We decided that the boys could save their money to purchase the dog and we would pay for her needs. I spoke with the owner of the pet shop yesterday and he let me know that two puppies would be coming in today. He saved them for us so that we could have the first pick. We spent 45 miutes playing, holding and learning more about how to take care of them. It was a hard choice as they were both sweet and playful and in the end the kids unanimously picked the little girl. Ben carried it home on his lap, Kevin set up a boxed in area in the kitchen and now she is snoozing away in her kennel after Gabriella read her some books.
Life with a puppy...it's going to be an adventure!

Nyla is the cutest little puppy. I just love holding her on my lap and petting her soft fur. Ben, Josiah, and Gabriella are so sweet with her.
