It is our other puppy’s first birthday today! Yay for our
sweet puppy dog!
We got Kirby from the pet store in the middle of last November. Getting him was kind of an impulsive thing. I mean we had discussed getting a second dog many times but had thought we would wait until the spring. However, like Kevin, once we got to the pet store and I saw him, sold. I couldn’t wait to bring him home!
Kirby is a Springer Spaniel (3/4) with a little Shitzu
(1/4). He looks just like a Springer
with short legs and he is cute as a button! I grew up with an English Springer
Spaniel, Ginger, and I loved her so. I always
wanted to get another Springer because I loved their energy and then freckles
on their noses!
Kirby really was a smart puppy but he gave us our fare share
of puppy frustrations. He was potty
trained really quickly! But funny story, he was potty trained when there was
snow on the ground so when the snow melted in the spring, he was so confused!
It was very funny, he would have to go and find patches of snow to be able to
go to the bathroom. “Go to the bathroom”
although ironic is the phrase he is trained to and will almost go on
command.
Kevin took awhile to warm up to Kirby but they are just like
brothers now and get along very well.
Kirby is kenneled during the day while we are at work and Kevin is
not. I know this may sound unfair but
Kirby still acts like a puppy and gets things he shouldn’t to chew.
Kirby loves to cuddle until he is too hot, just a heat rock
that little one! He is always wagging his long tail that looks like a feather
pen! He will play, play, play until he crashes.
We are still learning Kirby’s quarks but so far he is a pretty normal
dog. He loves to pick up sticks on our
walks and carry it with him. You can
tell he has that hunting bread in him, birds- bunnies-squirrels drive him
crazy!
I’m quite sure Kirby will keep us entertained and on our toes! Even though he is a year old, he is still very much a puppy. We love you Kirby! Happy Birthday!
Much Love,
Liz
