CARLY RAE: Welcome home Carly!

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.

Welcome home Carly!

Today we met Carly Rae and her family. We were greeted by Carly's Mom, Tikka and her brothers and sisters. It was great to see Carly play with her Mom and siblings. Carly has been raised with a great breeder family. They were great and so detailed. She was very loved.
We had a quiet ride home. Carly slept most of the way. We stopped 3 times on the way home for a potty break....we can't blame that all on Carly Rae.
Jack has been saving his money to purchase "stuff" for the new puppy. So, on the way home we stopped at PetCo and bought new toys, bowls, and spot cleaner.
Carly Rae met most of her extended family today. She met her Grandma Bev, Grandma Barb, and Papa. We had a family party tonight and brought her with because we didnt want to leave her at home alone. People were holding her and she would just fall asleep. She is so sweet.
She had many potty accidents tonight but everytime we let her outside she goes potty. So she will learn.
She went right into her crate tonight and is sleeping like a baby.
I am crossing my fingers she sleeps for awhile.
