{Introducing Chevy}

We have a new addition at our house...... Chevy the puppy. Chevy is a 6 week old black lab puppy and even though I'm not much of a dog girl, I do have to say she is adorable! We kind of got tricked into getting her by two of Derrick's students. They asked him if he wanted one of their puppies, and he kind of blew them off, telling him he had to talk to me. Well, they took that as a yes, and when they came for parent teacher conference, mom was excited we were taking a puppy. She said even if we decided not to, they'd drop it off with a bow as a "thanks for being a nice teacher" gift. I guess our kids are at a good age to learn some responsibility, so we decided to go for it!

Kaleb, Brock, Chevy & Carlie

This was one of the few seconds she wasn't being mauled, oops, I mean loved by the kids.
Kaleb is especially in love with her....look at that grin!

She really is a cute puppy, but I wish she could stay just that, a puppy..... I like puppies much more than dogs, that cute little face and all that saggy loose skin. Hopefully she'll start to like her kennel soon and stop crying. What an adventure this is going to be!


8 nice, polite comments! (otherwise, don't bother!):

YOU sneak! You didn't tell me!!

I knew he would warm your non-likey-dog heart! If I was a gambler.. I would bet he is inside by tonight! :) How can you say no to a whiny puppy?? he-he

He is cute for a puppy.. but I'd still stay away.. Ann and Dogs just don't mix. Too bad you don't live closer.. then I could send my kids over for a "puppy fix."

Love ya.. I'm sure with the new puppy you will all have a HAPPY weekend! I'm glad you finally got her/him! (can't remember..)XO

I hope you're enjoying Chevy, even if you were tricked into taking him. Thanks though, one less puppy to worry about finding a great home for.

Yeah I am not a dog girl either but told my kids in July we could get a chocolate lab! What am I crazy? But yeah kids do need responsiblity!!!

What a cute little puppy. I love dogs but we probably wont ever have one because Kurt hates dogs. He is fine if they are someone else's but not his own.

How fun for you kids. I bet they just love her.
