Little Miss

As most of you have probably seen by my constant postings, we have a puppy!!! Chad and I have been talking about getting a dog for over 6 months and I've looked at countless dogs on Craigslist multiple times a day...it became a little obsessive. 

In December we came across a litter of puppies in Kentucky. They were 75% Queensland Heeler and 25% Australian Shepherd. We immediately fell in love and pursued looking at them. After talking it through we decided getting a puppy right away wouldn't be the best move so we cut ties and moved on. Then, when I was looking for furniture on Craigslist I came across the last pup of the litter. She was a female, which we wanted, and her priced was reduced since no one wanted her because of her odd coloring. Our hearts melted and took it as a sign. The next day we took a trip out to look at her and it just felt right!

We became parents of baby Aspen within 30 minutes and began this crazy journey. We took her to Petsmart to pick up all the essentials and I felt like a nervous new mommy. We completely spaced that Saturdays are adoption days so the place was packed! People and barking dogs were everywhere all wanting to touch lil Aspen, I was going to have a heart attack. We made it through with are dignity and even went out shopping the next day and she took it like a champ, she must have her mom's shopping gene. 

Having a puppy is as exhausting as they say it is. I wasn't expecting it to be so time consuming and tiring but golly is it ever! We're still working on potty training (the terrible weather has not helped) and sleeping at night. I just want to cuddle with her all night but I know in the long run it won't be good for her, or my marriage! But despite all of that she's so fun and has the sweetest personality. I can't imagine not having her even though she hasn't even been with us for a full week. I feel so blessed God dropped her into our lives and I can't wait for ya'll to meet little miss Aspen but in the mean time here are some more pictures!!
