Beans the Chihuahua our new family addition
Well we got a new addition to the family. He is a black and tan Chihuahua named Beans. He is almost 2 years old. He will be 2 in February. His birthday is February 23rd the day after Justin's. He is purebreed but we are going to get him fixed so no breeding for Beans. The kids love him to death. They have been wanting this type of dog for sometime. Our friends Andy and amanda have a female Chihuahua named mimi and when they stayed with us for a few weeks the kids got really attached especially Daniel. He was having a hard time with our friends leaving and missing having the extra dogs in the house so we started looking at dogs. We took the kids to the animal shelter and saw the smiles on their faces as they were looking at all the dogs and the cats. We were looking at boxers and bulldogs and jack russell terriers but the kids kept saying they wanted a Chihuahua. Today we happened to wake up and look on craigs list and there was a Chihuahua that needed a home and these dogs are very expensive and hard to find. It was just a fluke. So we called the lady and set up a meeting at our home to see how Zack would react to another male dog in the house. He had seemed pretty lonely since Mick and Mimi had left and was really enjoying their companionship. Well they got along really well and Beans had found himself a home. We did do some reseach on the computer and found out Chihuahuas have a very long life span. They can live anywhere up to 15-17 years and hes not even 2 yet so we are hoping he will be around for the rest of the kids childhood and into their teen years. This is actually Daniel and Hailey's dog. Zack is mainly Justin's dog he bonds mostly with Justin and Storm the cat bonds mostly with me since they were around before the kids. Beans is mainly the kids dog and they are going to help take care of him as well. He will rotate nights sleeping in the kids rooms with them. He has a kennel to sleep in at night and tonight he is sleeping in Daniel's room and tomorrow he will sleep in Hailey's room and the kids will keep rotating. Zack seems to get along pretty well with him and is enjoying his company and storm pretty much looked at him like what the hell are you and jumped right back on our bed where his comfort zone is. Well here are some pics of the new family member.
