Our new puppy "Piston"

This is our newest edition!! He is a Corgi, he is now 3 months old. I have always wanted one and found a breeder through my work. A wonderful family who we are so glad we met. We originally had the brother of this one picked out, but he suddenly got sick about 3 weeks before we were bringing him home and ended up having a heart defect and they had to put him to sleep. We were devasted!! We had already went and spent alot of time with him so we had bonded. Well, anyway there was one puppy left out of 6. We kind felt it was a sign so, we went and visited him and he was so sweet and we decided it was the right thing to take him. So Aidyn named him "Piston Cup" after the "Cars" movie!!
He is so much fun and Magnum our Lab and him just love each other. Aidyn loves him too and says that its his brother. It is the cutest thing. Piston is a wonderful edition to our family!!

Aidyns first day of preschool!!

Well, course these are backwards. I have the worst time with this blogging. This is a pic of him in his new class in the little bathroom. I couldnt help myself he looked so cute!

This one is of him when we were getting ready to leave I love him cute little face. He is so handsome.
He thought he needed to ride his bike before attending school!!



He is standing infront of the door at school. Not looking very excited now!! He was a little scared!!
