We have a new member of the family. I haven't written about it because the reason behind why we got a new puppy is too difficult to write. We lost our sweet four year old Winston this past November. He somehow broke his back and was unable to use his front legs. He was found like that on the couch and to this day we don't know what happened. I think what happened was our very puppy like 30 pound Cooper jumped from the back of the couch down on top of Winston. They would play pretty rough. The vet said that particular break had a very poor prognosis. Even if we did find a vet school willing to try, there was a high chance it wouldn't work. We made the very difficult decision to put him to sleep.
We were left with a giant hole in our family. The dogs were sad. The kids were sad. It was a sad time. Winston was the glue that brought Cooper and Bean together, without him they didn't know how to play. I made the decision to look for another Boston Terrier puppy to fill the void.
We picked up eight week old Kevin the end of November and he's now nearly six months old. He's such a sweet little guy. He fits right in and plays well with both Cooper and Bean. We are keeping an eye on Cooper and making sure he's not too rough with the new little guy. Cooper just turned one year old and is just a big puppy himself. I never thought I'd be potty training puppies for a year.
Welcome to the menagerie Kevin (can you tell we just watched Home Alone when we brought him home?).
