I have some news!

No, I'm not pregnant.  Don't get your hopes up like my husband does whenever I have heartburn, please.

The news I have is..

We have a dog!

Paul's brother had a litter of puppies this past January and through some crazy circumstances I was one of the lucky ones to help nurse those little ones back to life.  I've been around those pups since birth and they are the cutest labs I've ever seen.

Of course I wanted one (really, really bad!) but Paul didn't think it was the right time since we were getting ready to have a baby and the pup wouldn't be given much attention.  Though I was very disappointed I knew he was right and didn't press the issue.

Paul's little sister was able to get one, she named her Baylee.  She is so pretty and very energetic!  Well, while they were on vacation Paul and I got to puppy-sit.  Baylee stayed at our house and I got to know what it was like to have a dog around.

We fed her every morning, played catch, took walks, etc. and I found that even though it was work- she was so much fun!

Don't ask me how it happened, but we now have Baylee at our house and will get to enjoy her company everyday.  Even Paul is a little excited. :)

What makes me really happy is that my Dad had a black lab when I was a baby and Mom said I loved him.  This is almost like a tradition.. since Zoe will grow up with her black lab.  Let's just hope Baylee doesn't get stolen. {gulp}

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
