The Real Puppy

OKAY!... So here's the REAL picture of my puppy. Awww.... isn't she cute? You can tell by the bits of distruction around her that she's a bit of a handful, but we love her dearly. It's like having a baby in the house, which is exactly what we needed.

Zatarah couldn't be more of a blessing. We got her on January 12, the day before Azalea's delivery date. I have to admit, I was REALLY struggling that week. But, God is gracious, and I'm grateful for our furry little dooger.

There are times when I get really mad at her, but then I see her and her daddy and... well, just look...

How can you stay mad at someone who makes the love of your life so happy? It's funny how whenever Zatara gets in trouble with one of us, she'll go to the other parent. Aw... parenthood. We're having a great time. :)

It's Zatara

Look at my cute little puppy! ... Okay, okay, so she's a little deformed. She's only been hit by a couple of cars. Yes, she scares small children, but that can be a good thing... right?

Hmm... I can't seem to get the other pictures to load, so I will have to do that at another time.
See ya!

Out of touch...

Alrighty then...

So I haven't been keeping up on my blog. But I've been reluctant to just rant and rave about how awful I've been feeling and how I have really low moments when I just hate everyone. No, that never makes for a good read. But things are looking up!

We're having a new addition to the family! No, sadly, not another baby just yet. We're working up to that. Thank God for Krista Kegel! We've both been working out. Her insentive is to have hot arms when we go down to Chicago over spring break and my insentive is to be one sexy momma (a baby making machine). MAN! I've really changed since 2006! Anyway, after flipping 2007 the proverbial "bird" I'm looking forward to bigger and better things. Where was I... OH YEAH!

WE GETTING A PUPPY!
Rick and I have long talked about his longing to get a dog. That stipulation was that we needed to be financially sound. Well, Rick is working full time at Alaska Airlines, and things are going really well. It's been awhile since we've had a steady, duel income. I'm loving it! Rick saw on the KGB website that there was a young puppy up for adoption. We vaguely talked about it and I kind of hinted that I would be fine with a dog now. Yesterday I tried sneaking down to the animal shelter to take a look at her and possibly surprise my husband with a new love. However, I got there at 4, which is when they closed. I was rather disappointed. Rick would have loved the surprise. Later, at home, I explained to Rick my intent and my disappointment. During the course of the conversation about the dog, Rick said, "You know, I'm pretty sure she wasn't even at the shelter. I'm pretty sure she's at the vet." That sneaky-sneak had already gotten her! HE was going to surprise ME! *Sigh*... aw, love is a wonderful thing. Anyway, we get to pick her up on Saturday. We're both really excited. I'll take pictures and fill you in later.
