New Family Member

Chesney has been asking for a new dog who will play with him for a few months. I have been doing a little research into what would be a good fit for us, and checking all the shelter websites for a week or so. Yesterday we went to the Saginaw Animal Shelter, and adopted a sweet little dachshund mix. We are not really sure what she is mixed with, maybe chihuahua or whippet. Anyways she is fantastically cute.

 

I was not sure how Opie and Icabod would react to her, but they were really good with her. At first they were not sure, but they have become fast friends. I think that she must have been a house pet before, because she is house trained and good on a leash. She has only been here a little over 24 hours, and seems like part of the family.

Chesney and Zach have been having a good time playing fetch, and tug-a-war with her. She is really playful and full of energy. We tried out the name Buttercup but decided on Skippy at the last minute. She is a frisky little girl, who loves to hop and jump, plus she is the color of peanut butter. Skippy just like the peanut butter seemed perfect.  We just love her and hope to spend many years with her.
