First One Thing and Then Another: PUPPY LOVE

December 20, 2008, we let the girls get a dog after months of non stop talking about a new puppy. We went to several shelters around town before we ended up at the Humane Society. We all saw this puppy at the same time and knew she was the one for our family. She was in a cage with two other male puppies which were twice her size and she was just hiding in the corner while the other two dogs were getting all the attention. We all fell head over heels in love with her and hurried to fill out all the necessary paper work so we could get her out of the cage and hold her. Jenny and Suzanna stayed posted by the cage and told anyone who came near that she was their dog. It was the week before Christmas and the Humane Society was full of people adopting dogs. They were adopting puppies as well as older dogs. We were finally able to get the puppy out of the cage and take her to a viewing room where we all got to examine her and hold her. She was so little (4 pounds) and only about 5-6 weeks old, she just fit in Jenny's arms like she belonged. The puppy was calm and let us touch and examine her all over to make sure she was the puppy for us. Jenny and Suzanna would have gone home immediately with her regardless but we still had forms to fill out and there were quite a few people and dogs in front of us. We didn't mind, we just loved on her and she was in heaven. She just melted our hearts. Jen and Suz were happy beyond words to finally get a dog. The shelter had already named her Phoebe and the girls liked the name so Phoebe it was. We are in puppy love. She is much bigger now and I would post pictures of her today but my camera is broken. As soon as I get it repaired I will update with pictures of how much one little puppy can grow.
