Our Puppy!

So, I thought that life had changed a lot when we bought our house. Little did I know, how much more life could change by adding a puppy to the mix.

Jon and I talked about getting a puppy for awhile before we got one. Finally, on Memorial Day, Jon decided that we could get a cocker spaniel, which is the kind of dog that I've always wanted. So, we decided to go looking for a dog. Not buy one that day, just look. Jon told me on the way to the pet store "now Carrie, don't get your hopes up, we'll probably not find anything." Well...I think it was love at first sight between our puppy and us. She was just so full of life and very sweet. I guess she still is, but now you throw in the mix of training her. She is also very stubborn and doesn't like to go to the bathroom outside. (Did you know the grass is usually wet in the morning? Well...our dog can't get her paws wet, she's Princess Sabbuku.)

I get really frustrated with "our little Boo," and then she'll be really good for awhile and I can see glimpses of the wonderful dog she could be. I just wish instead of just getting glimpses she'd just be good.
