So. We got a puppy. After letting the subject drop and deciding not to get a puppy right now, I kept thinking about it. About how this is the perfect time to get a puppy. About how cute those puppies were. About how much we both wanted one. When I approached Wes about it again and I broke him down. We decided to go ahead and get the puppy. Thursday night we had one last discussion about it and Friday morning Wes bought tickets to Hilo to pick the puppy up. It was a quick four-hour trip there and back with a new puppy.

She’s adorable, of course. What puppy isn’t? But she’s a handful. I’ve never had a puppy before, so this is my first experience with just how much work and attention they require. I’m hoping that I’ll be better prepared for kids after this fiasco, but something tells me that they’ll be 100 times harder, and if I cried on the third day of dog parenting, what is it going to be like with actual kids?
We’re getting a lot of suggestions from other dog owners. She’ll get older and less puppy-cute, but that also means she’ll stop being such a puppy. And I’m really looking for that.
