The adorable addition joins the family’s menagerie, which includes six dogs — many of which were also previously a surprise to Joanna — a handful of cats, cows, horses, chickens, and goats.
“Chip continues to increase our pet population. He recently surprised us all with a new kitten AND a new puppy. Oh, sweet Chip…,” Joanna wrote in the post onMagnolia.com,alongside a photo of their new dog named Brindley.

Months earlier, in Dec. 2017, Joanna received another surprise gift — this one, just in time for Christmas.
In the Instagram post, the mom of five joked that she left town for one night andcame home to a new kittenfrom her husband.
“I go out of town for one night… @chipgaines #welcometothefarmkitty,” Joannawrote alongsidea photo of their new, teeny-tiny kitten underneath the family’s Waco, Texas, Christmas tree.
But despite having a lot on her plate, Joanna recently said in a personal essay she penned for the Fall 2019 issue of her and husband Chip’s magazine,Magnolia Journal,that shewouldn’t have it any other way.
“I decided that balance is way too meticulous a science to get just right in my daily life, and that it wasn’t something I was very interested in for myself,” she said. “In its place, I sought wholeness for my family and for my work.”
