The Newest Addition To The Family...


We have a new addition to the family - everyone meet Chester! We rescued Chester from a local animal shelter that sets up shop every weekend at PetSmart (a.k.a. The Zoo - at least thats what we tell Emma). Chester is a Miniature Pincher/Chihuahua mix and so far is doing pretty good integrating into the family. He and Emma are becoming good buddies! He's got a mellow/happy personality, doesnt bark, and is "mostly" potty trained. So far so good! He needs to learn a few manners - its apparent his previous owners allowed him on furniture, etc. and never taught him the basic sit/stay/come commands; but he seems like a smartypants, so hopefully he'll get all that with a little patience and training.

Of course, Emma is cuter but Chester sounds like a great addition. Can't wait to visit you again and meet him.
