00:00My son has wanted a dog since I can remember.
00:10You could tell that Tyler had an instant connection with the dog.
00:13Me and Cheyenne have decided we want to get a dog.
00:18Do you want a dog?
00:19Yes.
00:20We're not getting one right now.
00:21I don't care if we go in and we find the perfect dog.
00:22We are not getting a dog today.
00:23There's actually two reasons why we can't.
00:24One, because it's a $1,000 investment, and two, the other big thing is, it's one we're
00:31gonna miss.
00:32What are you thinking?
00:33Do you like her?
00:34Do you?
00:35Yeah.
00:36Hey.
00:37She's sitting even without me talking.
00:38She does like you.
00:39Oh my god.
00:40Look at that.
00:41She's sitting.
00:42She's sitting.
00:43She's sitting.
00:44She's sitting.
00:45She's sitting.
00:46She's sitting.
00:47She's sitting.
00:48She's sitting.
00:49She's sitting.
00:50She's sitting.
00:51She's sitting.
00:52She's sitting.
00:53She's sitting.
00:54She's sitting.
00:55She's sitting.
00:56Get your dog.
00:57I think the moment that we all knew we were getting a dog is when we took her on the walk.
01:03We made a deal when we came here, we weren't gonna get a dog, so I think we're gonna go
01:08home, okay?
01:09But I think we're gonna bring one with us.
01:12What do you think?
01:13I just don't feel right leaving her behind and I think it may not be the perfect time.
01:23Yeah!
01:25We got a dog!
01:27Yeah!
01:29As I'm driving, the dog's got her head right on my shoulder.
01:31Perfect.
01:33It was just weird how much
01:35she felt like we've had her forever.
01:37Her first steps inside the house.
01:41We have a dog now.
01:43The cat is very, very spoiled.
01:45We've had her since pretty much me and Cheyenne have been together.
01:47I didn't know how the cat was going to react
01:49because she's never lived with another animal.
01:51This is our dog.
01:53Hey, meow. She's coming.
01:55That is Miss Baby Kitty.
01:57They're both so curious about each other.
01:59She's older than you.
02:01She's wiser than you. You respect her.
02:03Anything's gonna take time.
02:09Well, I don't know about this.
02:11You can just gradually see them getting closer and closer.
02:15Miss Kitty, can you move so we can go through?
02:17Come on. Walk away.
02:19The dog wants to go through.
02:21Miss Kitty. There we go.
02:23Good kitty.
02:25They're constantly just looking
02:27at each other through the gate.
02:29It's not kitty food.
02:31Kitty food is downstairs.
02:33It's still a work in progress.
02:37She was actually returned twice.
02:39The other dogs in the prior houses
02:41weren't getting along with Stella.
02:43It just didn't feel
02:45like a Stella problem.
02:47Tyler lives with his mom during the week
02:49and comes for the weekends.
02:51When he gets here, Stella goes absolutely nuts.
02:53Yeah. You missed me.
02:55You missed me.
02:57She missed you.
02:59Come on, Stella. Let's go inside.
03:01Stella was perfect for us.
03:03Stella's been a huge addition
03:05to our family.
