Our New Addition

Nala, our Miniature Pinscher lasted for 4 years at our house, but she was not happy at our house. She was so small she could get out ANYWHERE in our fence and she was NAUGHTY. She would take off and would NOT come back!!! A lot of her problems were our fault...we hadn't spent the time when she was a puppy with the training that she needed. My grandparents that live in Washington fell in love with her and wanted her so she found a new home where she could be a lap dog to her heart's content. This was over a year ago.

Fast forward to August 2009. Yates came home and said he had found a dog on KSL that would be perfect for our family and it was just in Cedar City. We called and went up to get our new member the next day. Anakin Skywalker (that was really his name when we got him, but Tucker loved it so we kept it) is a dark red Golden Retriever who is a 1 1/2 yrs old. He was trained as a service dog and knows basic commands. He listens fairly well, is very good with the kids, walks well and the kids have loved him! I've even been surprised myself at how attached I've gotten to him. He has some bad puppy habits and likes to dig (in my garden & flower beds...grrr) and gets a little over-excited at times, but he's perfect for us.
