Introducing.....!

Here is the newest member of our family. We don't have a name for her yet but hopefully we will soon. Tony had to work all day today (and is still gone tonight) but we met him at the Humane Society at 1:30 for his stamp of approval before we signed the papers. We have a couple of EXCITED kids right now! They played with this puppy for 4 hours straight before finally giving her a break. She's had a bath to get all freshened up and has been so much fun this afternoon. We haven't heard her bark yet so we haven't heard her voice. She has a microchip implanted between her shoulder blades so if she gets lost she can be traced back to us. I thought that was pretty cool. That's standard procedure now at the shelter. I'm pretty worried about the house training but so far so good... no accidents in 6 hours. ha! The kids have done a great job of taking her outside every hour basically. Wow... it's kind of like having a baby at home. I can't explain how over-the-top-thrilled they are though. They keep saying, "I can't believe we got a dog!"


Kisses for Madison at the shelter. "Please take me home!"



Quinn typed this next sentence while sitting on my lap just now... ha!

Madison and Quinn were shocked to get a dog. ......................................................................................................

We are dog watching for Duchess this week. She is scared of this wee little puppy... shaking and shivering and this puppy just wants to follow her wherever she goes and desperately wants to play with her. Tigger took one look at the pup and hissed at her. We've got a long ways to go in that department.

OK, more adventures another day. Hopefully we'll have a name by then. The kids and I like "Cocoa" but we're 3:1 on that one and we really would like to be unanimous. We'll see...
