The Final Gift

Oh yes, we did it again.  We are suckers for making our boys happy.  And lets face it, dogs make us happy too.  I would never say that I regret the decision of giving up Molly before we moved here.  It was the right thing to do for our family at the time.  We may however have changed that decision, knowing what we know now.  But the beauty of it is, Molly has an amazing family in AZ, and we were able to rescue another puppy here in Hawaii.
Introducing Tiki.

Tiki is a 10 week old chihuahua, fox terrier (or possibly a mini pin) mix from Ewa Beach.  He is tiny.  Just under three pounds currently.  Should stay at or under 10 pounds.  We'll see.  For now he is about the size of our cable remote.

We really wanted a young puppy, willing to take on the challenges of potty training and such, because we really wanted him to be used to all the kids, especially Jonah.  As you can see here in this video....(it's a bit long, but cute.)



So far, Tiki has been great.  Typical puppy stuff.  I think I can solve so many problems by shopping for baby toys at the pet store and dog toys at toy store. :)  He sleeps in his kennel and has slept through the night the first two nights.  Keeping our fingers crossed on that one!  The boys love to lay on the floor and play with him.  Tiki chases balls and toys that they throw, and their giggles while playing together are contagious.  And when they are done, they all crash like this....

Tiki's not much of a cuddler, but that may change.  We all try to snuggle up with him on the couch at different times.  For now, he likes his own space.

And, one more video, because everyone is so cute!

Welcome to the family Tiki!
