This is Spirit. We got him this weekend from a rescue organization. He was abandoned by his family when they moved out of their house in March. The people who rescued him named him Spirit, because that is all that was left of him at the time. He was just skin and bones. He is a 1 year old Shiba Inu mix. He is completely house trained (yeah!!), and he also is very mellow and sweet. He loves to play fetch, and has been so well trained and cared for by the people in the rescue organization. He was also enrolled in a Pups on Parole program, where the dogs spend many days with women out at the Jean Correctional facility. These women work with them on their commands, and play with them during the day. It seems to be a pretty cool program that has been really successful.
The kids love him, and we are just working to gain his trust. Cade takes him on AT LEAST 3 walks a day down the walking trail in our neighborhood. He is a very cool dog, and we are so glad we ended up with him.
On a side note, remember I posted a picture of our backyard right when we had moved in, and there was no grass. This first picture of Spirit also works as an update of our backyard.

He's got the cutest little face. My kids are DYING to meet him.
What a good looking dog. My kids have been wanting one for a while. You're a much nicer mom than I am.
Cute dog! I'm glad you were able to rescue a dog and give him such a good home!
Also, I'm glad Bryce is doing good!
What a cute dog! We're glad you were able to get another one, the kids want to know when they can come and meet the newest member of your family (and of course go swimming, too)
