Visiting Traveller

Kevin and I drove out to visit the pup on Saturday.

And I have to say-right now, she looks exactly like a guinea pig. Same size, nice and chubby, teeny little legs. I might be in love.

Kevin might be, too. He is really looking forward to having another girl in the house. Actually, maybe he had a picture in his head of a nice, big dog who could hang out in the garage with him.

She is a sweet little girl who gives lots of smoochies. I wasn't prepared for that. But I can get used to it.

Mama is very gentle but also very protective. She's sending a strong message here, just with her eyes. Too bad she's so adorable-it's hard to take her message seriously. Particularly since I will be taking her baby home with me soon. Hmmm....

Oh, man! What can I even say?!

It's a Girl!

Friends, meet Traveller.

She is a Boston Terrier and was born on April 1. We get to take her home in early June, and we couldn't be more excited!

Dana's been carrying around a dog encyclopedia for over a year. She's become known to my friends as "The Dog Whisperer" because every time she sees a dog, whether at the playground, at someone's house, or on the street, she runs over to ask the owner if she can pet it. Much cooing and giggling follows. She's been begging for a puppy for as long as she could speak. She's finally getting her wish and she is over the moon.

Our little girl is named after General Robert E. Lee's favorite horse. Kevin's a bit of a history buff and, since we're adding yet another girl to the household, we figured it was only fair to let him choose the name.

Expect silly puppy posts throughout the summer.
