We set Kirby up for failure. We brought him home to a house that had two dogs. He spend the first 6 months of his life being in a family with other dogs and learning what life was like with other play mates. Kelsey and I always knew that this was a temporary situation but Kirby had no idea of our plans. I knew it was going to be rough when we moved into our own house, but I didn't know how rough it was going to be.
Plan get Bella started at our Halloween party when Paula showed me a picture of the puppy they were getting and then proceeded to show me a picture of Bella. I fell in love and I just had to have her. I also knew Kirby would be miserable alone after spending his whole life with fellow play mates. I started begging Kelsey for her right away but at first he said Kirby would be fine and we didn't need Bella.
Plan get Bella continued but I let it go for a few days. As we started to get settled into our house, Kirby become more and more depressed and would mope and cry around the house all day long. It was heart breaking. This was starting to wear Kelsey down. The final straw happened on evening after Tucker and Emma were over here playing. When they left, Kirby sat at the door and cried for about 15 minutes. Nothing we did could get him to stop. So once Kelsey saw how sad he was, he caved! YAY!
Paula and I got sister puppies and we went to go pick them up last Saturday. I won't share all the gory details but, they were in bad shape when we got them. Bella had obviously been neglected and was a sad little puppy. We got her cleaned up. She is such a sweet addition to our family and we are so happy to have her! Since getting her, Kirby has perked up quite a bit and they are always playing. It is SO sweet.
We just LOVE her! Kirby got his male parts out today and is not a happy camper but I am sure he will perk up back to his old self her shortly. I love my spunky boy and my sweet girl!
