Puppy!!!

Yesterday morning, we set out for Hawley to meet out new puppy. On the way, Jeff was so worried about how to choose the best one, what to look for, etc. When we got there, we realized we really didn't have anything to worry about. First of all, the person we are getting the pup from is the Principal at Hawley, so we know that it is coming from a good family/breeder. (When we got to their house, his daughter, who I had as a student when I was a Student Teacher, was there. It was great to talk to her!) Second, every puppy looked the exact same! Not one difference! All cute as can be!


There were nine dogs in all - four males, five females. We played with the pups for quite a while. Lucas just loved them. He kept picking them up and carrying them all over. He had a little harder time setting them down - he kind of would drop them in his attempt to get close enough to the ground to nicely set them on the floor. Alex wasn't interested in the pups at all! When we got to the house, he found a big basket of balls - so he spent the time throwing basketballs around the garage! In retrospect, I hope they didn't think our kids were crazy nuts! :) We'll get to pick up our puppy on June 25! We are getting a female. We're still debating the name, but I think it'll be Molly. Here I am with the pup we chose - yes, Molly seems like a good name!
