Full House

It's official.
We have a full house.

And a new addition...  Leo! Leo Leo Bo Beo, as he is mostly known at this point, joined the family at the beginning of June right after we got back from California.  It was somewhat spur of the moment, and somewhat something that Stef and I had been talking about.
With Moses getting older, we'd recently started feeling a little bit of time pressure to find a puppy so that that lucky little dog would be able to learn from the best dog on the planet (Moses, of course)...
it just so happened that on Stef's birthday I decided to check out the puppy ads on craigslist and came across these adorable German Shorthaired Pointers which was one of the breeds that we had talked about.

Well, if you know my husband, you know that the rest is history.

Leo came home with us on June 7 at 8 weeks old and he has fit right into the craziness on Punahele Street.

He's a chewer, but not a destroyer; he looks up to Moses with all of his heart; he tries to engage Koko when he has the nerve; he thinks that Lance is his brother; he loves to eat slugs, poo, and anything that smells nasty; he is crazy for the water and is already an excellent swimmer; he loves to chew on sticks, leaves, cabinets, and anything woody; he loves to sneak out of our yard; and most importantly, he has brought our full attention and life back to all three dogs in our family. He's also brought a new level of frustration and impatience to our "quiet evenings" after the boys have gone to bed.
But-  It's true what they say about the whole love thing.  Just when I think I am too overwhelmed to do or take care of one more thing, along it comes and wow-it's impossible not to love this little guy with all that I have...
