A new addition

This weekend we adopted a new little puppy, and we would like to announce Ranger Kainer that we welcomed into our home weighing a whopping 7lbs. The first night we adopted him, he slept in his crate for 7 hours, and I thought that it was too good to be true. Well it was, since Ranger is only 3 1/2 months old, it was a fluke that he was able to sleep that long straight through. Saturday night after 45 minutes of crying he went to bed at 11PM and proceeded to wake up at 2AM, 5 AM, and 8AM. So far he's enjoying getting to know Brinkley, but the feelings haven't quite been reciprocated, as Brinkley is learning how to share her toys in her toy box and deal with something that's 30lbs smaller than she is. After lots of play time, he snuggled with Patrick for a nap as they both watched football. I snapped this one just as Ranger was waking up this afternoon.
We are enjoying the new puppy, and learning how to constantly keep a watch on him. He's already taken a nose dive from the couch to the coffee table, pulled the bathroom rug completely out of the bathroom, learned how to bark (it's a tiny bark) back at Brinkley, and pull every single toy out of the toy box. I know that this is just the beginning, but we're enjoying the moment!
