New member of the family

Tyler did get his early birthday present from Mimi and Papa last night......A Puppy!

We have been talking about getting a dog ever since we had to give Baby away but we never could decide on what kind...Charlie always leaned toward the bigger breeds and I always leaned toward the smaller. My parents have an Akita and we had Akita's growing up ever since I could remember. They were going to give us a female becuase they thought that their dog would mother it and there would be no problems. As we kept talking I reminded my mother of a story. Growing up we had two female - Lady and Madam - and one male - Rocky - Trust me their names suited them perfectly! One summer my parents decided to breed them. Well when two females are trying to get the attention on one male it isn't pretty. We had to keep them seperated - completely. They both had their puppies at the same time and it got worse because now they were protecting their babies too. One day mom was giving them some time out in the yard, and we had to do this one "family" at a time. So she let Lady out, let her and her babies have their time and back in their pin they went. She went to let Madam out and before she realized that Lady's pin wasn't completely latched she got out and Lady and Madam didn't act very much like a lady and madam....they went at it. This next vision is etched in my memory FOREVER....she grabbed them both by the collar, yanked them apart and held them up on each side of her and just yelled HELP! So we kids came to the rescue and put Lady away so Madam could have her play time. After being reminded of this mom decided they would get a male for Tyler!
Outside in the yard playing......wait is that another puppy?

Yes it is.....My brother got to keep one of those babies that we had and he named her CoCoa. He and CoCoa did everything together. When my parents saw this puppy all they could think of was her. So being the nostalgic parents they are they brought her home too! Allen had no idea and was blown away that they did this for him. So gues what her name is.......
After hearing Uncle Allen's name for his dog Tyler had the perfect name for his new puppy..

PoPo.
