It's a Girl!

Ok.. So I know anyone who read the title of this is freaking out and thinking "are they having a baby?!" umm. NO. But we do have a new addition to our family. So.. the other day we were driving by the animal shelter and couldn't help but go in and look. Which I'm not sure the point of going to a shelter and looking at all those sad little faces and then all you want is to take them all home with you. Also, the fact that we said we would wait atleast a month after we were in our new house to look for a dog. So not sure what we were thinking! So we walk in and see these two adorable little German shepherd puppies. They were the first dogs we saw and we immediately turned to each other and said, " well you wanna get one." We were both thinking the same thing and were just so excited to see them. We were hooked. So it turns out they couldn't be adopted until 3pm that day. So we finished looking at all the other dogs there (non compared to these dogs we had already found) and decided we would come back later to look at them again and make our decision. So we came back later and we immediately asked about the dogs and a lady said, " I think they are being adopted right now." We were pissed! ha So we went into the office and to our relief found out that only one of the dogs was being adopted. So we went back and looked at the one still available and even brought Mya (our first child) to see how they would do together. Well they didn't hit it off very well but that still didnt discourage and decided to go ahead with it. The thing is.. It is very rare when you find a puppy at the animal shelter, especially a german shepherd(which we think she is a pure bred even). We also know that when a puppy comes in and is ready for adoption, the puppy is usually adopted by the next day. We knew we either had to decide that day or who knows the next time we would have had an opportunity like that! So this was our thinking and we just went for it! I know many people think we are crazy but if you know us we are both crazy about dogs and love our little puppy so much! So now we have a cute little girl at our house! We love her but yes I forgot what a chore it is to take care of a puppy. Potty training.. sucks! Also, Brent is out of town this weekend and so I am left taking care of the little dogs myself!
On another note... We signed the final papers for the house yesterday and have the keys! Its officiallly ours! yay! We went by the house and they put up a new wood fence, which is awesome and they had it cleaned. So starting tomorrow I'll start taking things over to the house! Its exciting!
WEll I will get some pics of the dog and the house up soon!!
