Well ... we did it. We expanded our little family.
Friday after work Bryan & I drove up to McKinney, Texas and stayed at a Day's Inn. (Side note: the water smelled so bad!!)
Then Saturday morning, we were up early as always, and decided to drive to Arlington since we had time to kill and toured UTA - the first university Bryan attended before transferring to A&M.
Around 11:30 we met up with some friends who live in McKinney - Matt & Krissy, and their now-5-month old little boy, Kamren. He's so sweet!
And then, the moment we'd been waiting for .... 2:15! We played with 4 little puppies until Bryan made our final choice and we took one home with us. His name is now Maverick.
It's been an interesting day and a half or so ... he's very sad to leave his momma and his litter mates, so he's cried and whimpered quite a bit. He's also been sleeping lots! (which is great). We haven't been able to make him eat much though ... hopefully that won't take too long to change. Mom and Dad were really sweet to let us stay the night last night to let Maverick howl out his anguish in a relatively open space (instead of irritating our apartment neighbors). Hopefully tonight will be better ... and tomorrow night even better ... and so on and so on ...
I really want our future children to grow up with a family dog, but didn't want to raise a puppy & a baby at the same time ... seemed like a bit much at one time. So instead we're going to do one at a time! (Puppy first.)
Wish us luck - this could be a rough week! New puppy, new job and new house! wowzers.
