Introducing the newest member of our family... Winkie Bear Sprinkles
Lauren saw the pictures on the internet and out of 14 puppies as soon as she saw this one she said that's the puppy I want. We went down last night to see them in person before making our final decision and Bear was it!
Reagan just loved all the puppies and kept picking them up and loving on them. Both kids were in heaven and so excited.Everyone who knows us well knows we are pretty anti-dog around here. I've (Jenifer) never had a dog before and have always wanted one. I just didn't want to go through potty training and all the messes.
Troy has been very anti-dog becuase he knows who the pooper scooper will end up being after the novelty wears off :)
So you can imagine my shock when I got a call Thursday morning from my sweet husband Troy. He said "Do you want to get a dog?" I almost fell over. Now life is a bit hectic for us right now. Lauren is in school and so I drive carpool now in the mornings. Then I put Reagan down for a nap and work our new business while Lauren is in school. Then we have our afternoon activites and getting dinner on the table before I head off to work at night.
My first thought was no but then he explained that someone walked away from their house down in Gilbert and left 20 dogs in the house. 14 of them were brand new baby puppies and they needed homes. He said he just really had a feeling that we are supposed to take one.
I felt the same way even though I was wondering how we were going to add one more thing to our life. But it just felt right. Then when we saw the pictures of the puppies and Lauren said that's the puppy I want ... I knew it too.
When we got down to see the puppies last night as soon as Troy picked up Bear he said yes this is our puppy. He wouldn't even look at the others.
So our puppy should be able to come home to us in about 4 to 6 weeks. He still needs to be with his mommy right now.
If anyone else is interested in getting a puppy I can send you the pictures we have of them. They really are all so cute and need a home.

How exciting. I am the same, not really wanting a dog. But when I see the cute puppies....I tend to rethink things. Maybe someday. The kids think the sooner the better, but we will have to see.
So what is your home business, and I never asked what you do for work in the evenings. Good for you balancing it all and still getting the kids to help with the cleaning. I need to learn to delegate some of those things a little more too.
Such a cute puppy!
(and the adopting again--were you referring to the dog?)
how exciting for your family, i bet the kids are pumped! i can't wait to meet the little guy.
How fun. now Nala will have a friend to play with! we'll have to get them together for play dates.
Too cute! I love how you decided to adpot.
The puppy is so adorable and so is Reagan holding all the little puppies. That does not surprise me at all, he has such a tender, little heart.
I'm confused like others, I see, are the puppy and adoption stories one in the same?? Or are your kids getting another sibling?
