Puppy Love



I GOT A NEW PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!

She’s so cute and fluffy and has a really high pitched growl!

We had to drive 7 hours to get her. When I first heard this I was quite disappointed. I really didn’t want to ride in a car that long. I don’t enjoy riding in cars for a long period of time. It’s just no fun. So we drove 7 hours to look at 4 puppies and choose one to take home. On the way to Minnesota, a family friend called to report that the father in the family had finally decided it would be okay to get a puppy so they requested we get one for them. We were going to look at sheltie puppies and own a 4 year old sheltie before we left. The family who wanted us to bring them a puppy back has hung out with our 4 year old sheltie, Lacey, and really like her. They decided they wanted a boy so we chose the one we thought would best fit them.

There were 2 girls and 2 boys when we arrived at the house selling us the puppies. One girl was the most petite out of the 4. She had really small paws and a really small head. The breeder told us they usually grow into their head and paws so she predicted she would be the smallest out of all of them. The other girl would be small too and was just as loveable. The two boys were sooo cute as well. One was extremely spunky and loved to run around and play. The other one was a little bigger than the spunky one and loved cuddle and be held. My parent’s friends decided they wanted a boy so we picked out the more cuddly, calm one for them and got the little petite girl for us to take home.

We actually had to hide the poor puppies in a suitcase to get them into the hotel because we didn’t want to pay extra for the two puppies after paying for our dog lacey. It was like they were play peak-a-boo with us when we opened the suitcase. It was precious. This is where we first discovered they like to chew on toes with their sharp little puppy teeth.

After much debating over what to call this new puppy, we narrowed it down to 5: Ellie, Bella, Zoe, Mylo, and Tori. After looking at the puppy and spending time with it, I decided I liked Zoe the best. My dad decided his first choice for a name would be Tori. And my mom thought Bella sounded the best for a name for the puppy. It’s always hard making decisions in our family as you can see. My dad came up with a long voting thing which immediately got shot down by my mother so we sat and discussed it for EVER! We finally managed to get it narrowed down to Zoe and Bella after much debating. Now we’re stuck. No one wants to give in. It may come down to flipping a coin. Sweet. We’re going to flip a coin to name our dog. I’m psyched.
