Meet Choco

Here is our latest addition, Choco. He is Tink's brother. If someone told me last year at this time we'd own not one but two dogs I would not believe them. Not for half a second. And Stewart would have never thought he'd enjoy having little Pomeranian mixes - but he adores them. It just goes to show never judge and never say never. Because here we are with 4 little kids and two fluffy puppies. Life is so funny that way! Anyways, back to the dogs....

He is Tink's polar opposite in personality. He is calm and submissive but also curious. She on the other hand gets frightful and sometimes aggressive when she is really scared...needles to say we originally picked him out but the breeder had her reasons (which I question :) why she wasn't selling him but she decided to put him up for sale and we got him for next to nothing and now we have two little puff balls. Bridger fell in love with Choco the first time we visited and then the other times the other kids were sold on him as well. Tink was the prettiest pup though. When he wasn't available anymore we opted for Tink. But we had all fallen for Choco and were really very sad we didn't get him. But now we get him too. :O)

So far the two of them together has proven to be a really good thing. Tink has a playmate so she has really mellowed out and he is being a little less of a lump of sleeping fur. She does well when she gets to go on walks but the vet said we cant walk her until she gets all her vaccines and so we've just been playing in the back yard and it hasn't been enough. But now she is fulfilled. Watching them play is so fun and it has really been a joy. He is basically potty trained and that has helped Tink have less accidents in the house. Even though I was nervous it is working out well. Stewart is over the moon about having two dogs. He LOVES training them and caring for them which makes my dog ownership really easy on me. Choco is the Boy's dog, though Bridger claims he is only his. :O) Angeli is jealous because he is more cuddly then Tink but in time Tink will mellow and the true dog lovers (Stew and Angeli) will win the most affection from the doggies and all will be right with Angeli's world. Anyways, He has proven to be a great addition - lets hope it stays that way!

And here is Tink...she is such a little girl compared to him. They make a cute pair.
