Our New Family Member!

Our family was not complete without a dog! So, we began looking at a Humane Society to rescue a dog! We fell in love with Tre who was a 5 year old male chocolate labrador. After they checked Tre's blood for any problems it showed that he had heart worms. So, a wonderful Veterinarian decided to help the people at Harbor Humane Society to help save Tre! We got his treatment at a fraction of what we would have normally paid for it! So, here is our lovely boy Tre!
Tre has been such a good boy! He was housebroken when we got him, he sits, stays, lays, rides in the car nicely, etc! He is doing much better when he goes out for walks now too (we are walking him he is not walking us)! This week we will begin training with a man who was a trainer for dogs in the Air Force and then went into training police dogs too. Tre and Jaden stay out of each other's hair for the most part! What a wonderful new addition to the family! He says a special, "Hello" to the other dog in the family, Snowflake! :-)
