Meet Our Newest Addition!

Weighing in at 5 lbs 4 ozs, our newest addition has lots of curly hair and loves to cuddle.  He is adorable and we fell in love with him instantly!  We are excited to welcome Oreo to our family!  Yesterday we officially brought him home.

Our puppy was born on March 3, which makes him almost 4 months old. He came from a good friend of ours who's dog had four puppies.  Our friend's dog is a schnauzer-poodle mix and the dad is a toy poodle.  This combination means no smelling and no shedding!  We expressed a strong interest in taking one of the puppies shortly after it was born.  Because we didn't know where we'd be living, our friend kindly agreed to hang onto him until we got housing lined up.  TJ and I spent 3 hours playing with him last Sunday--that was the first time TJ had seen him in person, and it was only my second time (the first time was at about 2 weeks old).  We knew after our afternoon visit that he would be the perfect addition to our growing family!  This week seemed to pass so slowly as we were full of anticipation to bring him home.

So...where exactly is home right now?  Well, since TJ's last day of work was Friday, we decided that we'd take my mom up on her offer to let us move in with her temporarily for about a month until we move to our new location (more info to come on this soon...it's getting late so I will have to blog about this later in the week).  Commuting from my mom's house would save me about 10-15 minutes one way.  She also VERY KINDLY agreed to let us bring our puppy.  I know she was very hesitant, but I don't think she realized how quickly she would fall in love with this super cute puppy of ours!!

More blog posts to come later in the week.  I will try to get up a few belly pictures, too!  We are very excited that as of today, we are officially 3 months away from Baby Warren's due date. 

Enjoy the pics below of Oreo!  :-)

 She loves her new grandpuppy!

Oreo loves to play tug-of-war with his toys

 TJ has been working with him on tricks.  He already knows how to sit and TJ is in the process of teaching him "down" and "shake." We are impressed that Oreo learned "sit" within one day (see two pictures below)!  He is SO smart! 

 See--he knows how to sit!

 Trying to keep cool on the kitchen floor since it is so hot outside.  He does a good job of staying where he is told--carpet is off limits.

 

Two of his favorite toys: ball and squeaky monkey.

We love our new puppy!
