New Family Member

This week we welcomed a new family member! No, no human babies......a 6 month old male Dachshund! He had another name but Mike wanted to call him Kobe, so Kobe it is.

I have to say this little doggie is smart! He already knows he is to stay in his bed all night and sleep. His bed is in our room so he can see us. We don't have the potty thing perfect yet but almost. One funny/smart thing he did this morning was to jump up in a recliner we have in the living room. How he jumps so high is another amazing thing. He wanted to be more comfortable so he pulled the blanket that was hanging over the top of the chair onto the bottom of the chair so he could snuggle in it!

Now when we go to parks to take walks it will be more fun with Kobe running and leaping beside us. :) A good way to meet people too. People who are never home, if you know what I mean.

We already took him to Portola because we had to deliver something to an old friend of Mike's over there. Mike's friend also has a Doxie, so Kobe and Surf are now best of buddies. Kobe is the black and brown doggie in the picture. He traveled very well; just slept in his bed in the backseat.

Our weather is getting better. Maybe now we are over the 80 degree thing with snowstorms the next day and it will just gradually become summer!
