Archie

We found out we were becoming parents to our little "runt" last month. Walter, Felix and I had talked about the name of our next dog months before and settled on Archibald after the Marine, Archibald Henderson. We loved that we would shorten it to Archie!..and the way Felix says Archie is priceless! 

Archie's first mom posted pictures constantly to keep all the new owners up to date on how the sweet babes were doing. We melted every time we saw a new one and talked about how we couldn't wait to snuggle our new little boy. Felix painted pictures of he and Archie and wrote stories about him. A couple weeks back we decided to buy a blanket and little stuffed bunny to send to our sweet boy. Felix slept with the blanket for two nights before we sent it, he wrote a card and was so excited the morning we mailed it off.  

We originally thought we weren't going to get him until Mother's Day weekend, but on Thursday the pups were cleared to go to their new homes. We told Felix daddy had to work all day on Saturday. It seemed as anyother day for Felix, but the thought of surprising him with Archie, was so exciting. 

Felix opened the door and teared up seeing Archie in Walter's arms. I love animals, Walter loves animals and a lots of children love animals, but I have never met a child that loves animals as much as my four year old. He eats, sleeps and breaths all living creatures. 

Welcome Home Archibald Garcia! We have been waiting for the perfect addition  and I think we hit the jackpot with you! You are one beautiful Vizsla and I cannot wait to watch you grow into best buddies with your older brothers! 

Before his eyes opened.

This tee ball thing has turned out to be a great first team sport adventure for us! Felix's coaches are great, Daddy gets to help and Felix is doing so well! 

I cannot imagine coaching ten, 4 and 5 year olds! His coaches have so much patience and treat all the kids as if they are their own. They work with the kids individually to help with learning all the fundamentals of the game. We really got lucky with the coaches! 

Felix is starting to understand how to field the ball and how to run the bases. We still have to work on his throw (it's quite hilarious)! His favorite part of the game is hitting, and he is actually doing pretty well with it. He is doing a great job with concentrating and paying attention to what is going on. 

This season has started out great, Oscar even knows how to clap for his big bro! 

And his coach even had their names embroidered on their hats! ❤️
