CARLY RAE: Carly Rae here we come!

Announcing a new addition:

We have found the new addition to our family. She was born February 6, 2011 the smallest pup (in the pink collar above) but she has already out grown most of her brothers and sisters. The kids named her Carly Rae Hansen. When hunting she will be called "Car" The kids choose "Rae" as her middle name because they felt it was a family name. In our family we have Uncle Ray, Issabella Ray, and Desi Ray (Grandma's dog). We decided to go with a different spelling, just to be different.

We are surprising Jack and Rylie Jane next week as we take a journey to Menominie, Wisconsin to meet Carly Rae. This will begin the next chapter of our lives. It's been 14 years since we have been through the puppy stage. We were blessed that Mocha Jo was such a great dog, companion, and friend.

Carly Rae here we come!

The car is packed and we are on our way to pick up our new puppy. We told the kids and they are so excited! Carly Rae's infection is getting better so she is coming home.
Angie from Echomound Kennels has done an outstanding job keeping us informed and sending us progress pictures along the way. We have watched Carly Rae grow bigger and braver in the last 4 weeks. We are so thankful that Carly Rae is coming from such a great home. Carly has been around kids and other dogs since she was born.
11 hours and counting Carly Rae.
See you soon.
