New Puppy Parenthood

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to pop in and say I am alive and baby Hanna (my new puppy) is adorable and doing great! We have spent the weekend being immersed in new puppy parenthood and I promise to post pictures and more later. Unfortunately my camera is a piece of crap and I think has finally died...she also moves too quick to get a good one on my blackberry! My sister took a bunch but when she tried to send them to me they didn't work since she has a mac. So it is a comedy of errors, I will be going over there tomorrow and I am going to get them then.

I am not working most of this week to continue to get Hanna acclimated so will have plenty of time to blog!

Hope you all had wonderful weekends!

Visiting My Puppy

On Saturday I went with my parents, and Gryffin, to visit my puppy Hanna at the breeder in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, K couldn't come since he had a review session for finals. When they first brought her out she was shivering and so tiny so I held her for a while, then we put her on the ground to see what Gryffin would do. She went right up to him and started wagging her little tail which was soooo adorable. Gryffin was very nice and gentle with her, I think they will be great friends. And we found out awesome news, they are actually half-siblings!

K and I will be bringing her home on the 15th and I am so excited! The breeder said she is doing well but being a little stubborn about weaning, so they are giving her baby food now and working her into dog food. She can't really run yet but she kind of waddles around, I know in two weeks she will be running all over the place.

Here are some of the pictures we took while visiting:



Hanna, and my mom holding her.


Gryffin and Hanna, soon to be best friends.

Gryffin looked so big next to her! And he is only 13 pounds,
Hanna probably weighed a pound!

Baby Hanna, my dad was holding her so you can see how small she is
next to his hands!

We Are Getting Our Puppy!

And here she is...


On Saturday we went to the breeder to pick her out and we are so excited to bring her home! Here are some answers to the common questions we have gotten from our friends and family about our new little fur baby:

What kind of a dog is she?: She is a shichon, her father is a bichon frise and her mother is a shih tzu.

How old is she?: Her birthday is March 12, so she is about 3 weeks old.

When are you bringing her home?: The breeder told us we could potentially bring her home on May 9th but if for some reason her litter wasn't eating well or big enough, we wouldn't be able to bring her home until the next weekend, so we are just going to hold off until then anyways, and will bring her home the weekend of May 16th. I am planning on taking some time off of work to get her acclimated.

Will you be able to see her again before you bring her home?: Absolutely! The breeder is really great and said we could go she her/check on her as often as we want but they have to be 6 weeks before they let them run around and play with you. Since the breeder is almost 2 hours away I (K probably won't be able to go because he will be in the middle of finals) going to go up another time on May 2nd. They are going to send us pictures every couple of weeks as well.

How many puppies did you look at: Our puppy had 2 sisters and there were 2 girls from another younger litter, but as soon as we saw ours we knew we wanted her!

Have you named her yet: Yes we have! We actually have been thinking about names for a long time but couldn't agree on anything. Finally we came up with Hanna, which is a shortened version of our college's name, where K and I met.

Mee-ow and Woof

First of all...holy cat fight Batman...my mouth way literally hanging open while watching "Real Housewives" last night. Kelly may in fact be more deranged then Ramona, in fact Ramona came off as semi-normal last night. Now I know I said cat fight but it was more of a cat attack as my girl Bethanney could hardly get a word in during Leatherface's insane ranting...out.of.control.

Second...big news! On Saturday K and I are going to a breeder to look at puppies! We have been planning on getting a puppy in the Spring/Summer for a while but I have been holding off on blogging about it until we had more definite plans. More to come on this but I just had to share because I am sooooo excited!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!
