Katch...

Well, if having a baby wasn't enough...we also got a dog. What?! Crazy I know. But he is a great dog that just sorta fell in our lap. It all started about a year ago... As most of you know Danny owns a landscape business. A year ago one of his maintenance clients mentioned that they might be getting rid of their dog. Danny had seen the dog a lot & liked him, so he told them that he would be interested if they did decide to give him away. Well, we didn't hear anything else about it till a couple weeks ago. They tell Danny that they are going to give him away because they just travel too much (they have 4 homes including a ranch in Idaho). So we had him over for a few days to see if we liked him & he liked us. Well, it is a match made in heaven...he is the perfect dog. He almost never barks, never chews on stuff, won't get on the furniture, doesn't shed & is great with the kids. He is totally laid back & easy going. Not at all like the hyper & annoying dog we got rid of a year ago- but that is a whole other story...
Anyway, his name is Katch & he is a 6 year old Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier. He has the cutest teddy bear face & big brown eyes. We just love him & are so happy that he has ended up with us!
This is how they groom Wheaton Terrier's for dog shows. I like Katch's cut much better. Although I would like to try his ears short just to see...

P.S. We finally did find his one fault: he has got some seriously stinky gas! We are talking skunky-rotten-egg farts-yikes! But if that is the worst thing about him- I think I can handle that! :0)

Haven't seen you for awhile, guess you must be busy with your ever growing family.....how fun! Cute dog, we'll have to come meet him sometime. Try feeding the dog yogurt, that is what the vet told us for our cat and it worked! Good luck! :)

I'm not a dog fan, but this one seems tolerable. I think he is a good fit with the kids. As for my kids, they cannot stop begging for a dog! We'll just have to visit Katch. I have now figured out why I couldn't get on your blog for the longest time....it was really lame and really easy to fix.

I have to admit- I thought it was crazy when you first mentioned on Facebook that you had gotten a dog:) It really does sound so perfect and meant to be though! Congrats!!!
