We adopted a puppy

Ok, so Andrew and I have been throwing around the idea of getting a dog for awhile but with no kids, we travel and go places a lot so we didn't want to have to figure out what to do with a dog during those times. Well, we put our big boy pants on last week and went down to the SPCA and looked at the dogs they had there. Now, it was time to decide what kind of dog we wanted. Both of us are not tiny, little yippy dog people and because of where we live and the fact that we both work all day we didn't want to get a big dog (even though we really like bigger dogs) so we dicided to go for a small to medium dog. As we walked through the SPCA, there was this little red and white dog that had the cutest little eyes. I must say that I think it was love at first sight.

We brought home our new dog, Olive, on Tuesday (my mom's birthday). She is about 9 weeks old so definitely still a puppy. She is pretty scared but has made definite improvments from the first day that we brought her home. She is a cuddler and could lay next to you all day.

These pictures were taken the day we brought her home so she was very scared.

So cute! We can't wait to meet Olive (or as Henry would say, "Woof-Woof").

Cute! Nothing like the love of a dog.
