NEW YEAR...NEW ADVENTURES!

"Louie" (his shirt says "Ruff-er-ree") I never thought I would be the person to dress my dog but when it's -10 with a windchill of -20 to -40...it's a must! He doesn't have any fur, just one layer of hair that keeps growing long like humans do, so he gets cold fast!

Well Yes, it's true...Darrell finally gave in and got us a puppy on December 13th!! Louie is a Maltipoo (Maltese/Toy Poodle) and he is will be four months old on Jan 18th. Unfortunately, he broke his leg on New Years Day by jumping off the steps either landing on it wrong or hitting the table leg (we're not sure how exactly it happened). We had to get surgery in Great Falls and is now in a wrap/splint for 2 weeks and he will finally get it off tomorrow! He's a great dog, but he still has a lot to learn! He's our own personal paper shredder and he has bad seperation anxiety--he follows us everywhere! It wouldn't be that bad if we were able to let him run around and follow us, but because his leg needs to heal, he needs to stay in one area or in his kennel. The cool thing is he doesn't shed, he's hypoallergenic, he will only get to about 5 lbs., and he loves everyone! I don't have any pictures of his hurt leg, but I'll have to take some and post them.

Other news is we will be moving to Texas within a week (more or less). I'm not sure we're ready, but what's new...we have to be! But I am excited to be in warm weather!!!
