The Newest Addition to our Family - BUCKY!

As you may or may not know, on a stormy Tuesday evening in August, we gave in yet again to our love of puppies! We are happy to welcome the newest member of our family, a Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu mix named BUCKY! He is 7 weeks old and is as cute as can be! We have been wanting this second doggy for quite some time now. Knowing that our first baby Miley is much happier when she has a sibling around to play with, and how much we loved having Oscar! When we got Oscar last year we could not have been happier with him. Unfortunately for us, the timing and the situation was just not right. Oscar went to live in a foster home for a while until we could get back on our feet, but just as we predicted, his foster parents fell head over heels for him just like we did. We miss Oscar immensely and he will never ever be replaced in our eyes, but he found a wonderful home with parents and a big sister that love him. We look forward to holidays knowing that we will get to see that cute little boy again! That is why we started looking for a new puppy like Oscar. I was starting to think that it wasn't going to be financially possible, just because that breed was going for almost $1000, BEFORE the first vet visit and vaccines! When we came across this opportunity, we knew we couldn't turn him down!

So far training with Bucky is going well, as well as training a 7-week-old puppy can go! Only a few minor number two accidents and so far (fingers crossed!) he is doing VERY well and better than expected, with number one! Miley still looks at him as if he is some furry inanimate object. We are pretty sure she is not ready to give up any of her beloved attention.
