The new ride
We were beginning to have a few problems with the Mountaineer, so we started looking and discussing getting something new a few months ago and we finally found something that we both liked (we are opposites, ya know) and Darin fit comfortably into (darn that height)! This is what we decided on, 2010 Dodge Nitro! We are in heaven and love it! It's very fun to drive. We did lose our third row of seats but having only used them once in over 2 years we aren't too overly concerned about it. We gained Heated seats, Remote Starter, Sunroof, Sirius Radio for a year, Vehicle controlled Hands free phone, and a few other fun features like that. The color is a really pretty blue, but it's also very hard to describe. Isn't it funny how excited we get over something like getting a new car, just love it! For the record, yes, Jo's dad is very disappointed in the Dodge purchase, however he is proud we didn't stoop low enough to buy a Chevy. Darin is overjoyed and bragging about the fact that he didn't have to twist Jo's arm on getting the Dodge, she was a ready and willing participant!

Getting to know Barkley
Our new addition, Barkley is fitting in great! Here are a few things we have learned in the week we've had our lil guy.
- Barkley loves to play, yes we know he is a puppy, but he welcomes any chance he gets to play, and he DOESN'T tire easily.
- Barkley loves attention, and although we are trying to divide it equally between the two, he doesn't understand why.
- Barkley is Darin's dog through and through! He hears Darin's truck coming up the driveway, the excitement begins to build and from there, Darin has a neverending Shadow all evening!
- When he is just sitting his lil teeth poke through his lips kind of like a buck tooth look, and it's simply adorable!
- When he runs he lil ears bounce up and down with his body, and again simply adorable!
- He loves to go on walks, do believe this is his favorite part of the day!
- He loves to wake up about 2am and bark, at what you may ask, well at himself in the mirror on the dresser that he can see when sitting at the foot of the bed.
- For the most part Barkley is potty trained but doesn't love to use the pet door to go outside, we are working at this, and lucky for us, Scotty loves the pet door so he helps with this issue.
- Barkley LOVES squeeky toys, and is not into destroying the squeeker, he does however know how to squeek them.
We are all adjusting well, it's taking a Scotty a bit longer, but he is coming around and enjoying the company. Enjoy a few pics!
Notice the teeth!
Scotty & Barkley sleep together as well!
Scotty & Barkley play together!
We are pretty sure, he has forgotten how small he really is, as he can't even begin to open his mouth big enough to get it around this bone, but he continues to try day in and day out, due to, yep, Scotty does it!

And the name is......
Thanks for all the input and votes on the name of our newest addition! We are so excited to add him to our family! I will post more pics later but for now wanted to get the word out about the name we chose, and that won the votes!
The winner is.....
Barkley
We got texts and Facebook comments well into the night and throughout the day as well, however we decided this morning that Barkley just fits his little personality, since when I walked out of the bedroom he started barking at me first thing this morning.
He is adjusting to us, and we are learning his personality. Scotty is adjusting well, and although not to keen on the fact that he is very playful, he is doing well with the change!
The pics below are the one most of you seen as a text, it's also the picture that the family we got him from used as their ad. The other is a pic I got with my cell, trying to show you his pretty colors, of white and a honey type brown. The family we got him from was calling him Milo, which we thought was very cute, however it didn't go with our "theme" of the ey ending. Since he didn't respond to it we weren't too worried about changing the name.
He is 20 weeks old, and pretty much full grown! Cute as a button. More to follow.
