It's Puppy Time

So it has been an interesting week. On Monday we had a snow day here in Maryland. My office was closed and The Mr. didn't go to work due to the snow as well. Daycare was closed, leaving the entire family home. Thing 1 was extremely excited. He kept saying "I want to build a snowman!" and kept jumping around the house. Thing 1 spent the morning outside while The Mr. shoveled the driveway. They came in and had hot cocoa.

In the afternoon, we put the boys down for a nap. During this time, The Mr. informed me that he had found someone that was giving away 12 week old puppies. He had e-mailed her to find that they still had them available and that we could come to visit them that day. After naptime, we packed the boys up and drove the 20 minutes to look at the puppies. We found one that we liked and brought her home. She is a sweet, Norwegian Elkhound and is adjusting well to living in our home. Thing 1 loves playing with her and Thing 2 enjoys watching her play and run around outside. The only one in our home that does not get along with the new puppy is our cat. She is not happy to have a puppy in the house. I think they will get along better after the puppy becomes less playful as the cat is not into playing with puppies.

Welcome to our home, puppy!
