Puppy Love!!

At Hunter's request for a "puppy and a kitty for my birthday" (he will be 3 on Nov 28th), We found a place to meet and play with kitties and puppies... The Humane Society. What we didn't realize is that there would actually be "normal" animals at this Humane Society. (For all of you who met our old family dog Jake, and our cat Gwen, you know they weren't "normal").
Meet Zazoo, a cute and loveable pit pup we met at the Idaho Humane Society in Boise! He is just about the cutiest and sweetest little pup you will ever meet. Zazoo absolutely LOVES Hunter. He follows him around everywhere and does not leave his side when we visit. Zazoo is a little timid around adults, which makes me think one wasn't very nice to him, but has warmed up to Jeremai and I. Zazoo also has a sister Emma that has already been adopted. She has the same mannerisms as her bro Zas; just as sweet and cute. They also have a brother Tent, who is a zesty little pup who is quite the go-getter. Hunter didn't appreciate his enthusiasm so unfortunately we did not spend as much time playing Tent. Oh, by the way...the names are compliments of Hunter. He is excellent with names. We may even set up a business out of our home; Need a pet name, call Hunter. We are working on getting him his own phone line.
We haven't adopted Zazoo but at Hunter's reqest we visit him. We are praying he finds a good home. Fortunately for him puppies have a much better chance of becoming adopted than the older dogs. Let me tell you, there were quite a few "Jakes" in Pitbull form, at that Shelter. Our family isn't quite ready for a puppy or a kitty. (Jeremai hates cats, so that would never happen anyways.) But little Hunter just may have to settle for a fish for now (maybe name him Dog) and continue the visits at the shelter. He has told us that he will take the puppy potty and walk him on a leash, and give him food and water. He also mentioned that the dog would sleep with him! Yikes! So he has good intentions...not sure where he learns these things, but very promising for a soon-to-be-three-year-old!

Been meaning to message to say how much we loved your Christmas card photos and that it was nice to see you, Christie, the day after Christmas. We're going to be in Boise for Hannah's graduation in May, maybe we can squeeze in a visit with you 3!
