puppy time!

i got a call from my mom on tuesday afternoon. her and my dad were going to go pick out a puppy. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! my parents had been talking about getting a 2nd lab for a while, a playmate for their awesome and amazing yellow lab, buddy. they have gone back and forth and been seriously talking about it for a couple of weeks. they found a breeder north of baltimore whose puppies had just turned 8 weeks. they decided to get a black male lab, and name him "moose," which i think is adorable and certainly fitting. below are some photos...of course i had to go over and check out the new chewning addition!

gettin' some puppy hugs in

puppy kisses are the best, and moose dishes them out like a pro

my dad came out of the house once the girls got home and surprised them, this is allie learning that they just got a puppy!

katelyn holding moose for the first time, it's true love

brothers, checkin' each other out

a little doggie butt sniff never hurt anyone...

there were a lot of friends that wanted to see moose, so he tired out quickly and learned fast that the only place where little hands can't reach you to pick you up is under the minivan, so he tried to catch some shut-eye

my dad let it go for a little bit, but he needed some more playtime/male bonding with moose

after almost everyone was gone, we brought the crate inside and moose mosey'd on over and was so tuckered out that he didn't even care that his little bum wasn't in the crate before he fell asleep
