We would like to introduce everyone to the new love of our lives (other than each other, of course!)
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tasso!
Despite all the research I *thought* I had done, I missed the fine print on Kyle's lease that said "no puppies." Turned out that the apartment we lived in at the time would not accept any dogs under 12 months. I was SO disappointed, particularly since I thought I had been so sneaky and cleaver. Kyle said we would have to go back to where he was so that we could get our check back. After a rather childish tantrum from my end, we found a perfect solution: What if we moved?!?
So that's just what we did! We called his mom's owner, explained the situation, and asked if she could hang onto him for a few more weeks until we found a new place. She was happy to oblige, and we brought him home September 23rd at 10 weeks old. These are photos from his first few days with us! When he arrived he was only 3.75 pounds and now he is almost 7 - still not a lot, but he has practically doubled in size!
Tasso, which means "badger" in Italian, is a wonderful addition to our
little family and brightens every day!!
