Welcome home Miya!

Last night Jay brought home our new puppy.  She was all drugged up from being spayed and not feeling the best, but she remembered me and just layed down on the living room floor.  She threw up a few times, but we expected that.  Last night the kids couldn't sit still.  They were so excited to have her in the home.

This morning she was feeling so much better and we decided to change her name after seeing her personality shine.  She is not a "smokey" so after trying a few names she finally perked up to one.  Miya.  So she now goes by Miya and we just love her.

If you can't tell, Annabelle is thrilled to have her around, until she tries to jump up and lick her that is.

Kaden putting on the "cone of shame" last night.  He thought it was so cool, Miya doesn't.

After Kaden got home from school this afternoon and immediately him and Miya were running all over the house and back yard.  They have become the best of friends already.  He just loves her so much and she just adores his massive amounts of attention and energy. Kaden actually wore her out.

Our new family member

Since moving to Norfolk we've discussed getting a dog for the family.  Both Jay and I grew up with dogs and wanted the same for our kids.  Well we were reccommended the SPCA down in Virginia Beach as a great place for adopting a dog so we've been watching their website for any dog that may jump out at us.  Well last night one little puppy did just that so this afternoon we took a drive down there to see if she was up for adoption.

She was and we fell in love with her right there on the spot.  She is such a sweet puppy and we are so excited that we got to adopt her.  Let me introduce our newest family member.....
Smokey!!!!  She is a 4 month old black labrador retriever mix and has such a sweet personality.  We have adopted her and on Thursday she'll be coming home to live with us as a part of our family.  We have to wait for Thursday so that she can be spayed and get microchiped as part of her adoption.  We already love her and can't wait to have her home.  Even Annabelle loved her and she hasn't been around dogs much.
