CARLY RAE: A good night.

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.

A good night.

Last night was a lot better than the night before. We used a wire crate and moved her into our room. She whined for just a bit and then would settle in with a huff. She was up at 11:30pm,1:50am, and 5:30am. Not bad for the second night!

She met the school rabbit, Jessie, today (see picture below). At first she thought it was a toy and then it looked like her hunting instincts kicked in.

We are having a lot of fun with Carly. We take her outside all the time and run around with her. I am so glad the weather is getting nicer. She plays hard and takes frequent naps.

I added new pictures below.
