Happy Birthday Stitch!!

Our little monster turned 1 years old on April 5th. We love him so much and couldn't imagine our life without him. He is so much fun and has such a cute little personality.

For his birthday we decided to take him to the beach. He had a lot of fun running around and meeting new dogs. Unfortunatly, we had a small incident while at the beach. Jared had Stitch on his leash walking him around and these two big dogs started walking all over our stuff. We didn't care because I am sure they were just smelling the puppy treats that we had in our bag. One of the dogs came up to Stitch and they started sniffing each other. Then out of nowhere this dog attacked Stitch and pinned him down with his mounth twice! We were so mad! Jared got mad at his owner and told the guy to put his dog on a leash. The guys chewed Jared out and said that Stitch was the aggressive one and that it was our fault by having him on a leash because he can't protect himself. I was really confused about that. I thought it was a good thing to have the dog on a leash and Stitch is nothing but sweet and playful. About 1 minute after the guys chewed Jared out his dog attacked another small dog, but this time it chased the puppy down the beach and I think actually bit the dog. It was horrible. Some guy pushed the mean dog away and totally cussed the owner out. After this Stitch was a little scared for a little bit but after a while he was himself again.

Other than this incident, our beach trip was a lot of fun. Our good friend Katie and her little boy Cayden came to the beach with us. We all had a lot of fun!! Stitch loved Cayden! He loved following him around the beach and seeing all the things he was doing. Again, Stitch did not like the ocean. Maybe another time, but honestly I don't think he will ever like the ocean.

Carving Pumpkins

Yesterday we carved pumpkins with our good friends Mike and Katie. It was a lot of fun. This was the first time I carved a pumpkin with a stencil. We also decided to carve a pumpkin for Stitch. Jared carved Stitch's name in the pumpkin, however he carved his name really big in the small pumpkin we got him.

Labor Day

For Labor Day we spent the day at my grandparents house. We took Stitch in the pool with us and it took him a while to actually enjoy it. Our good friends, Mike and Katie, along with little Cayden came over to spend the day. Stitch loved Cayden and spent time with him on his little pool floaty. After a fun time in the pool we BBQed hamburgers, played some pool and roasted marshmallows. Such a fun day!

Stitch Goes to the Beach

A while ago Jared and I took Stitch to the beach for the first time. He loved running in the sand and meeting all the other dogs. He made some friends with two other yorkie puppies, Grizzly and Bear. It was so cute watching them run and play. However, he wanted nothing to do with the ocean. Jared tried to take him in, and Stitch ran straight into my lap and wouldn't leave.

Newest Member of our Family

Meet the newest member of our little family. His name is Stitch. Stitch is a 3 month old Yorkie Terrier. We love him so much. He is such a joy in our family. He loves to play with his tiny tennis ball, his tiny rope and chew on his tiny bones. Every toy we bought had to be miniture size because he is so small. Right now he weighs in at 2.4 pounds. The vet said that he should get to be about 7-10 pounds but I honestly think he wont get more than 6 or 7.
