Trout

We added a new family member last month. Our little chocolate lab was born on August 30th in Preston, Idaho. We found him on KSL one night and I just had a feeling I needed to contact the lady about the puppies. Turned out someone was over at her home looking at the puppies when I contacted her. The people were trying to decide between the last chocolate lab (which we wanted) and a black lab. Lucky for us they chose the black lab and our little guy was left for us! We were so happy, he's the perfect match for us. When we found out he was ours the search for a name was on. We came up with some pretty good names, but we kept coming back to TROUT. We wanted something unique, something we've never heard another dog called, and of course being named after an awesome Angels baseball player (Mike Trout) was definitely a plus! :) We drove up to Preston and got him on October 17th. He's been so much fun. We love him so very much. He definitely is SPOILED, mostly due to the fact that he is our only child! His favorite toy is a stuffed cat, which we hope won't cause issues, it hasn't been so far since he's been around my parents cats. He loves his stuffed duck and can relate it to the real thing in the local pond. He also plays fetch with his tennis balls and can sit, stay, shake, wind, rewind, and lay down. He goes with us anywhere and everywhere (within reason), he's gotten really good in the car and is getting better with his kennel. Trout has been an awesome addition to our family and we love him so much!
Here's some pics of our little guy...


Right after we picked our guy up:

My two guys:

There are two mornings during the week when Josh and I overlap with work and Trout has to be in his kennel for a few hours. I usually leave the TV on so he has some noise and one morning when I turned on the TV this is what I found.....PERFECT! :)

This is one of the more recent shots of him...he's growing way to fast!
