Recently, our family acquired a dog via a local Craigslist ad. A local family had an unexpected litter of pups and were desperatley trying to find new homes for them. The breed is a Minii Dachshund and Chihuahua mix, otherwise known as a "Chiweenie". I contacted the owner and we set up a time to met the only puppy that was left. I had told Noah that he was getting a surprise. He was super excited despite his many guesses. When we pulled up to meet the puppy, Noah was overcome with joy and said in his cute, excited voice, "That puppy is for me???!!!" I replied that the puppy would be our family dog.
After discussing names, we decided to name the puppy Gryffindor. For those who may not know, the name comes from Harry Potter. Gryffindor, or Gryff as we call him, has turned out to be a great addition to our family. He is very playful, lovable and lots of fun for my boys.

First night at his new home
