A New Puppy

Meet "Hudson," our new chocolate lab puppy.  We brought him home on April 18th when he was almost 10 weeks old.  He is naughty.  I guess that is what a puppy is supposed to be, right?  The kids adore him anyways and have already learned a few lessons about the importance of putting your toys/belongings away (otherwise they risk being chewed or ripped apart.)

In the car on the way home after picking him up. :)
We knew we wanted to keep with the theme of naming our dogs after towns in Wyoming.  We pulled out the Wyoming map and "Hudson" won the popular vote.



I think Hudson will be Gabi's dog and she's actually the one that I had in mind when I finally convinced Joe to get a puppy. :)  Gabi would rather play with someone/something else than play by herself.  Maya is about as opposite of that as you can get.  So, when I'm busy with Jacob and Maya is working on her own thing, Gabi can go play with Hudson. :) So far, she has really taken to him and loves to take him on walks and play fetch.  She was trying to fly a kite in these pictures and he wanted to play.






 Maybe I should re-title this blog, "The Adventures of Gabi, Maya, Jacob, and Hudson.  He will be a fun tag-along buddy this summer and hopefully for many years to come. :)
