About a year and a half ago, we sadly had to find a new home for Hudson's basset hound puppy. Hudson just wasn't quite old enough yet, and we didn't have the time and space to devote to him. He now happily resides with a wonderful veterinary student here in Stillwater, who happend to have a female basset hound that could be his friend.
So, in late January we finally decided to re-introduce a pet to the family. We were about to move out of our apartment, and it was the perfect timing. We adopted Thomas, an adult Coonhound with the most mild temperament; a perfect companion for Hudson. Within a few months we realized that Thomas was in need of a four-legged friend to play with during the day.
Kyle and Hudson were keen on the idea of a retrieving dog that they could train and eventually take hunting. I wasn't on board with the idea of a puppy at first, but I must say, she has stolen my heart. Jess, is the most perfect little yellow lab with lovely green eyes. I am a little obsessed with the TV show, 'New Girl,' and defintely feel the need to sing that theme song to her every time she comes into a room ("Who's that girl? Who's that girl?...It's Jess!"). Plus, there is finally another girl in the house and within an hour of having her, I went out and bought her a pink collar to celebrate.
I admit I have my hands full; Hudson, work, house, Thomas and now Jess, but, I'm embracing the craziness of it all!
