Well, we drove away from the woods and ended up where dirt, oil, cotton, and wind are a-plenty....the vast plains of West Texas. My nephew just had surgery so we went up to help watch the kids....little did I know what we were getting into!
They had a new baby kitten that my sister (a vet tech) had been bottle feeding and a new puppy (that my nephew does not yet realize is soon to be his birthday present). My kids fell in LOVE with their little dog, Spot.
Before you knew it...we ended up with Spot's sister. Meet our newest (and possibly favorite) family member, Leia. Named by Marissa - for Princess Leia from Star Wars.
I was not even sure the dog could walk for the first few days. Nate did not leave her side!
She did not really enjoy walking on a leash at first but picked up some mad skills before her walk was over!
Now we did do some other really fun things.....
Orange Leaf (my kid's first time),
playing at parks, climbing rock walls,
going on nature hikes,
but mostly we just loved on Leia!
Both puppies gained much insightful knowledge as Nate read multiple Curious George books to them.
I am not really sure how my phone ended up taking this motion picture...but this a pretty accurate reflection of our animal adventures. Oh, I did not mention my sister also ended up "babysitting" 3 of the other bottle fed kittens for a few days while we were there. Putting 4 kittens with 2 new puppies and 4 kids under the age of 5 is probably some form of animal cruelty!
More Leia love (it was rare that Nate put her down).
The big test was how the other dogs would respond.
Sorry for the poor quailty of pictures but Ziggy and Leia have become fast friends.
So our Spring Break leaves us with a lot of great memories and our new puppy!
