Its A Girl

Thursday March 4th, 2010 ~ Well...........I'm not
the only girl in the house anymore! Meet our new
puppy! Un-named at the moment...but a sweet
ball of fur nonetheless!

Bernie texted me this afternoon and said he had a "surprise"
for me! I couldn't hardly stand the anticipation! Now, don't
get me wrong, my husband does lots of nice things for me,
he's just not big on surprises! He made me wait all day and
wouldn't even give me any hints!! He finally pulled into the
yard this evening and not being able to wait any longer, I
went outside! He motioned me over to the pick-up, had me
open the door and this is what I found inside!!

A big surprise for sure!!!!! She is sooo sweet! And so soft!
She's still getting used to us and for those of you who know
us well and visit often, we have literally like 20 farmcats so
the puppy is in for a culture shock! And so are the cats!
A not-so-funny story though....we'd had her like 20 minutes
when Bernie took her outside to go to the bathroom and she
took off!!! We spent the next hour and a half, walking around
outside, in the DARK and cold looking for her!!! Not a great way
to start off having a new puppy! But, we finally found her down
at the farm hiding in the shed under Bernie's mustang so she's
back home safe and sound and sleeping in her box.
Guess I'll be headed to town for puppy food tomorrow, she
doesn't seem to care for cat food! ha ha!
I have NEVER had a puppy before in my life so not sure how
this is going to go, but hey, can't be any worse than raising 3
boys' right?! :)
Anyway, Bernie was very proud of himself and I can honestly
say I was surprised! I'm sure we'll have lots of pictures to share
of her but we just wanted to introduce our newest member of
our family. I'll let you know her name when we decide to.
Wish us luck!!
