Meet Orco

Here are the first pics of our new four month old chihuahua/dachshund cross - a breed that has been nicknamed "chiweanie".  

Deacon wanted to call him "Fluffy" but we convinced him that it could be a middle name instead.  We took a family vote on different names and everyone seemed to like my reference to the big-eared magician/comedian in the old He-Man cartoons.

We had initially planned on getting a dog for Christmas day, but when this guy was advertised on kijiji, we couldn't pass it up.

Heather was so sweet to not only let us get a dog, but actually suggest the idea.  She is such a softy.  

Orco has been with us for only one day, but already he follows us everywhere with his tail wagging.  Last night he started to cry in his crate because he was lonely being in the kitchen by himself.  He was fine once I moved the crate into the living room where the kids were sleeping under the Christmas tree.

I just hope they don't expect anything more for Christmas...
