Day 359

Merry Christmas!! We had a great day today with the Sommer clan. While it was very hard, we still had a great time celebrating. I’ll let the rest speak…

Day 262

Did you think that I wouldn’t post the dog atleast two days in a row?

I really want to sleep... But I don't...

I love to snuggle...

So, we asked for your help on names… And wow, thanks for the responses… The top choices: Scout, Maverick, Jett, Diego, Prince, Puppy, Bentley and Storm. However, we had another name that we had been considering and it’s the only one that we could settle on. And it is…

Diohge (pronounced Dee-ooo-gee). Yes, like D.O.G. πŸ™‚ Β We think that we are clever. And then we have D-Cubed. πŸ™‚

Day 261

We got a puppy!

A wet dog's first bath

Well, we finally bit the bullet and got a dog today. Our friends found a breeder in Iowa (about 2 hours away) that had 3 border collie pups. We weren’t sure and really debated whether or not we should even go. But, we decided that we should atleast go and look… And of course, the MINUTE we pulled up, this little guy jumped into our laps. He was relentless!

We had been convinced to get a girl dog, but she just wasn’t as friendly. This guy though… licking, jumping up, letting us hold him. We grabbed him and left! He is a pure bred border collie born in May. He had a big day… left his family, played with some adult dog friends, learned how to sit, took a long car ride back to Minneapolis, had a bath, saw (and doesn’t like) his first set of stairs. We’re really working on the potty thing too.
