Finding Fergus

This is our new little dog Fergus (we did not pick the name). We got him from a rescue shelter while we were in Las Vegas last week. He is a purebred Jack Russel Terrier puppy. He came already trained and housebroken, thats the way we like them. Riley is in love with him, Coulter finds him acceptable, and Maycie was terrified of him. She has since gotten over her fear and now follows him around all day forcing him to eat pieces of dog food.
He is not the smartest dog in the world. His hobbies include:
Drinking out of the toilet
Howling at the crack of Dawn (my personal favorite)
And Barking at Dogs on the T.V.
Despite this he has begun to mend broken hearts, one small one in particular and for this I am thankful.

Missing Rocky

While we were in Utah this week we recieved a very sad and shocking phone call. Our neighboor's Rotweiller/pitbulls escaped their yard, broke part of our siding off our house to get through our fencing, and killed our sweet little Poodle Rocky. We all miss Rocky very much and we are glad he was part of our family, although it was not long enough. We are thankfull for our other neighboors and Animal control who took care of Rocky for us and also capturing the other dogs.

Utah vs. Arizona

This week we had to make a bittersweet trip to Utah for the funeral of Cody's cousin David, who passed away from cancer, Cody was especially heartbroken. It was a beautiful funeral. Cody was honored to march with the DPS honorgaurd (David was once an officer). We wish the best for his young family and we will always have them in our prayers.

Arizona vs. Utah

This is what we did this week in Arizona:

Jumped on the tramp in swimsuits with water.

This is what we did this week in Utah: Froze our butts off
I think we will use the look on Maycie's face to determine the winner.

The winner is: Arizona

We will be back in Utah next week and we are planning to get squeeky cheese in Beaver, so there may be a chance for redemption...We really like squeeky cheese.
