New Addition

This is our little Puppy Rosko.He's a Malte'zu or something like that. It's a new breed of dog, they took a pure bred Maltese and bred it with a pure bred

Shih Tzu. He was born Sept 11, 2007 and we bought him Nov 1. :) We have been looking for a small dog for some time now, and we thought that we'd get one as soon as we sold our Condo and found a new house. But then our friend (Jim) said that him and his wife breed little dogs and they had a dog that was pregnant. We thought that when they came we might get one. We werent quite sure. Well the puppies came and we went to go see them and they were so cute and tiny. There was a little runt that we fell in love with. It was a little girl. they actually had to hand feed her cause she was so tiny she couldnt fight her way through her brothers and sister to get to the food. So when Jim called and said they were ready to be sold, he told us that the little girl had died a few weeks earlier. So we went to go look at the rest of the puppies. We found this little guy that they had named Turk from the Disney movie Tarzan at first we wernt sure if we wanted one. Then we started to play with his little brother and actually were thinking about getting him. Then this little guy came in and started to play with us and after awhile he got tired and he climbed into my lap and fell asleep. well that did it we were hooked. So I thought that we could ask Jim if he would hold him for us, but James surprised me and said he wanted to take him that night. and thus the sleepless nights begin. :) The first night he did awesome, the second night he still did good but then after that I guess he decided he didnt like sleeping alone. We have not yet got a kennel for him so everynight before we go to bed we take Rosko for a walk and try and get him tired so that he'll sleep asll night. He does really well actually and he really like's going for walks most of the nights. Somenights he doesnt like it to much cause it's to cold. So we try and make it as short as possible. He's been doing really well. We recently discovered his favorite cuddly spot. In the hood of James's hoodie. Last Sunday we took him to a family dinner with James's family to show him off. and he sat in that hood for about an hour or so. H eloved it he just curled right up and fell asleep. James doesnt like it to much after awhile cause of the weight pulling on the hood tends to choke him. We love our new little guy, sometimes not so much when he wakes us up at three in the morning. :) but we do love him and are very excited to have him. Our cat is slowly adjusting to him. Yesterday Dodger let Rosko walk up to him and Dodger sat on a lower step with Rosko on the landing and they just laid there for awhile. He's a fun little guy.
