Lulu

Okay everybody, here are the pictures of our brand new puppy Lulu. She is a Schnoodle (a mix between a schnauzer and a poodle) We are loving her already, especially my two boys. It is so bad, I know who will replace me when I die.

Lulu loves Brandon the most. She follows him everywhere he goes and sits on his lap constantly. I must admit I am getting slightly jealous. I tell him we needed a puppy for him as much as we needed one for the kid.

Getting this puppy has been slightly nerve wracking for us, not because we haven't planned/prepared or aren't excited...we just made the mistake of telling the wrong people first (no offense mom and Gwen) If you get a dog, don't tell non-pet people first - they don't get it and all they see is the responsibility, mess, etc. (once again, no offense, I completely respect your rights to be non-pet people) So, after talking to non-pet people we got the feeling that everyone thought we were idiots.

But, we knew we had made the right decision and we were happy, nay thrilled, with the results. It was just hard having no one be excited with us. So, we found a solution. We called our similar pet person friend, Jesalee, and she was more than excited for us. (Go Jesalee!)

Anyway, I have sort of posted pics of her. Problem is, she loves Brandon so much I can't get a picture of her without half of her being consumed in Brandon. Also...the pet store gave her a Schnauzer haircut (not a fan) so we are waiting for it to grow out, but we still think she is cute.

It is hard to tell how she will be, but she is such a sweet dog right now. She is very patient with the children who are intent on mauling her to death. I will let you know how I feel about her after I take care of potty training her (the only thing I am NOT looking forward to)
