A new family member

Like we needed to add an addition to our already "big" family. Our new pet puppy that we have named Buddy. Isn't he cute? We'll there is a sad story behind this new addition. Our dog max had cancer and we found out Sunday that it had spread into his upper leg with a tumor that burst. It looked bad. He had an opening in his leg the size of a golf ball so Chris had to take him to the vet Sunday afternoon where we had to put him down. It broke Johns heart more than any of the other boys but Drew was sad too. John got max when he was 2. Anyway Chris went to work on Monday and a told a friend in the office what happened on Sunday. He just happened to have a 10 week old puppy at home and wanted to give it to the boys. Any other time I would have said NO but after watching John hurt and cry himself to sleep the night before... well... we have a new puppy. He is so far pretty good and loves the boys. John was woke up this morning at 6:55 to a puppy cry and took him out to the restroom. I'm sure he'll keep it up. If any child needs a dog it would be John.
