Meet the new addition!

We got a puppy! YAY! She's mostly black lab with a litte cocker spaniel and she's 100% adorable! We got her from The Greear family. Their male and female dog got a little *ahem* friendly awhile ago and the result was a litter of the cutest puppies I've ever seen! We really hadn't planned on taking one. Then I was over at The Greear household the other day and I couldn't resist the puppy charm. I still wasn't sold on a puppy, no matter how cute. They are, after all, a ton of work but Donna met all my protests with a logical solution. The conversation when something like this...

Donna: Are you sure you don't want a puppy? You can take one today.
Me: I don't know...they are pretty cute though.
Donna: They'll be really good dogs and Labs are great around kids.
Me: I still don't know..I need to talk to Ben.
Donna: Are you sure? (She's very persistent)
Me: Well, we don't have a kennel or anything and we can't have her in the house.
Donna: I have a kennel you can use.
Me: We don't have any dog food either.
Donna: I can give you some dog food.
Me: Ben will not be happy.
Donna: Just take it home and try it for a few days. If it doesn't work out, you can bring it back.

Yeah right! HA! So, we have an adorable puppy! Oh, and Ben wasn't mad at all!
