In spite of my constant repeating "no new dog until the kids are older"...We got a new dog!

His name (after much debate) is Gunner. He is an Australian Cattle dog aka blue healer. 

I was not able to keep up the tough act when it came to Sean's dream dog. He is about 7-8 weeks old. He is adorable! We are still working on everything. He does ok-ish with the going to the bathroom outside. He loves playing and chasing the kids. Sean said he is going to be his garage buddy. Last night was their first walk together with a leash. Sean came back so proud of how Gunner did. Gunner slowly walked back in the  living room and plopped down on the ground and fell fast asleep.

Tired after his first walk.

Killian can not get enough of the dog. She wants to hold him 24/7. Jameson tolerates the dog unless Daddy is holding Gunner, then he cries and tries to push the dog from Sean's arms. Can you say jealousy? I must not rank on the list because he doesn't care if I hold the puppy.

We couldn't decide on a name for a few days. His first name was Patch/Patches picked by Killian. But it just didn't seem to fit. So we tried other options. There was Foster (to keep with tradition lol Foster= Australian for Beer). Lambeau or Beau, bet you can guess who liked that one. Then Killian rallied for Prince Sparkle Face. But in the end, Gunner won out!
