Introducing . . .

. . . the newest member of our family - Teagan!

(No, we didn't get our referral in case that's what you thought!)

We picked up our new puppy Teagan on Monday and he's doing very well.

He's a cockapoo which makes him very loving, great with children, low-shedding, extremely smart, easy to train, obedient, good natured, healthy, very playful, etc. . . . a good match for our family. We picked him up on Monday morning and he's been fitting in nicely. He's a little sad at night when he has to go in his crate - that's when he misses his mama and siblings the most. But during the day, the kids have been keeping him busy with lots of playing. He's been really good with doing his "business" outside and hasn't even had one accident in the house. We've been taking him in the van whenever we go out for a minute (even to Tim Hortons) so that he gets used to riding in a vehicle and so far he doesn't seem to mind too much.

Victoria, Austin and especially Samara are still getting used to him when he's in a playful puppy mood but it's getting better and they are learning what to do when he jumps and gets a little too hyper. Here are Victoria and Austin on the first day home - Teagan just wanted to sleep all day and still does quite a bit of that . . . can you blame him?

This next picture is hilarious. Austin is just colouring away and Teagan decides to curl up on his legs. Looks like a nice cozy spot. Any time the kids sit on the floor too, he'll come and snuggle right up with them. So cute!
