Considering adding a new puppy to your family? Both Irie and Tiki were still pups — although, at six months old, adolescent puppies — when we adopted them from the shelter. With both adoptions, it was a time of fun and questions, as we trained them and struggled with typical puppy problems (like the habit Tiki had of repeatedly chewing the collars off of Irie!)
