New Puppy

Yesterday Ryan drove the three hour drive to pick up the newest addition to the Metty family. People think we are crazy for getting a puppy and having a 2 month old baby, but we are awesome parents and we can handle ANYTHING. And if it does end up driving us crazy it is our mistake and we will learn from it and know never again to get a puppy with a new baby but so far it really hasn't been too bad. His name is Winston, we named him after the teddy bear Ryan bought or should I say won me before he went over to Iraq when we first started dating. I carried that teddy bear everywhere with me and slept with it at night. It helped me deal with Ryan being away and made me feel like a piece of him was with me. Well after we got Lou, we left him with Lee for a weekend, BIG MISTAKE, seeing how he doesn't know what responsibility means, but that is another story well ofcourse Lee didn't keep a good eye on Lou and Lou decided that Winston was a toy and chewed him to shreds. I was heart broken when I came home and found Winston in a million pieces because that was the first thing Ryan had ever gotten me and he was important to me. So when we were thinking of names to name our little pup I thought of Winston and me and Ryan thought it was perfect.

We really got the puppy because since Kale has been born Lou has been a little depressed and jealous. Ryan used to give Lou tons and tons of attention and ofcourse now that Kale is here Kale is number one in Ryan's eyes and Lou took the backseat and Lou just does not like this. So he really hasn't been himself since Kale has been born. We thought that getting him a friend would kind of help him have something to play with and something that is showing him attention when we just can't.

Winston and Lou absolutely adore one another. Winston is constantly nibbling on lou's tail, ears, neck, whatever he can get his little puppy teeth on and Lou will put Winston's whole head in his mouth, but he doesn't bite. Lou is a completely different dog. It is so cute too because anything Lou does Winston wants to do too. It is absolutely adorable.
