On Saturday, June 27th, we welcomed Hershey, 8 week old cockapoo, to our family. It has been quite an experience. While Nicholas and I drove 1 1/2 hours to meet him, Charlie prepared by dressing up in his dog costume. Emma added the paw prints...

Hershey's second walk. He was not interested! This is the first time he stood still long enough to get a decent picture.

Big dog, little dog, Hershey was not intimidated at all, he wanted to play.

Emma is in love!

We all survived the trip home, no accidents from dog or mother. Nicholas held him, which he was nervous about at first, but Hershey calmed and slept most of the way. He did cry quite a bit, but not too bad.

When we arrived at home, Hershey was so excited to run after the kids. He ran and ran and ran. He especially loved to chase Charlie who was still in the dog suit which included a long tail that bounced around as he ran. He was tired quickly, which we thought was a good sign for the sleeping thing. Well, not so much. He only was quiet if I kept my hand on his kennel, all night. I took him out 2x to pee, but he didn't go. Maybe he can hold it all night?

Today, he went to a family picnic, he was adored by all there. Hard not to be "awwed" over when you are as cute as he is! He fell asleep on top of Nicholas tonight, I got a pic that I will try to add later! Enough for now, must take him out again so we don't have an accident!
