Meet the newest member of the Dukes family!! Little backstory on this one… we went to one of our favorite fundraisers of the year last night 🇺🇸 with no intention of buying a dog, like not even a thought, or mention of it.. In fact, I’ve been in “no new animal jail” a.k.a. my husband wouldn’t even let me buy a rabbit a month ago because well I’m the crazy farm lady that loves animals 🤣🤣 long story short, we saw the dog during the live auction, exchanged a few brief words and my husband said if you want the paddle, I trust you. Meanwhile, all of the husbands at the event were hiding the paddles from their wives 🤣🤣
They brought him over to us, and it was game over. How could you say no. Especially for a cause near and dear to our hearts. We got our boy. I held him for 2 hours and he was the sweetest cuddliest little guy. He has three more weeks of training left and then he will be home with us at the farm at his forever home. I’ve always wondered who the crazy people were that bought animals at live auctions, and now I’m one of them! The boys don’t know yet but I can’t wait for them to meet their precious new puppy. Merry early Xmas, and cheers to me being out of “no new animal jail” hehehe, thanks for letting me out Ryan! 😂 Scroll to the end for the video. It’s funny and I cried happy tears.
