Cocoa

Our puppy has a name! It's Cocoa... as in Hot Cocoa. Tony gave in. : ) The picture in the middle was taken right outside the building at the Humane Society. I wish you could have heard the kids inside the lobby. Quinn kept saying things like "This is so awesome!"... "I can't believe we got a dog"..."Is she ours yet?" Madison was busy listening to all of the directions, noticing the lady who came in, dropped off her dog, and left crying... etc... She was so elated but felt bad for that lady too. The workers just kept smiling and asked "Is this your first dog?"... and sarcastically said, "I don't know... I don't think this puppy is going to get enough attention." Ha!

Tonight Quinn was talking to Nate on the phone and he said suddenly, "Nate, I've got to go!... my dog has the hiccups!"... and then hurriedly hung up to rush into the kitchen and check them out. Isn't that a cute picture of Nate in the lower left corner???

Our first night went well. I didn't hear her yelping until around 7:30 this morning. I've done 3 extra loads of laundry today though but I'm not going to focus on that. These 2 excited little faces is worth all of it!

The pictures in the post below are of the kids at the shelter on Friday... the first day we met her. Notice her droopy ears and then look at her perky ones now. That's what 24 hours of love do to a dog I guess.

Gone to the dogs...
