Ha! It is NOT what you think, and it isn’t to our little family, but rather our extended family. My parents just got a new puppy yesterday…here is the first released picture of the little guy.

He is a little fluffy, sweet golden retriever. I think he is one of the cutest things ever. I told the girls that Nana and Papa have a new puppy and they are so excited. Of course, Emma told me the other day that when our kitties die and go to heaven with Tuck, we can get a puppy instead. Apparently the novelty of having cats is over with her.

And Addie adores puppies. She points them out wherever we go and makes sure everyone sees the puppy and I think would really love a puppy. Someday. I just know, no matter how old the girls are, I will be the one taking care of the puppy. And we are just busy – I would feel bad that the puppy wouldn’t be getting enough attention. Cripes, our cats barely get the minimum quota of affection any more, I don’t think adding a puppy to the mix is going to help that any.

Anyhow, we are going to all live vicariously through Nana and Papa and enjoy their new puppy. As of press time, the little guy is still nameless. Anybody have any interesting puppy names they would like to contribute for consideration? He is a boy puppy. Golden retriever, like I said. Just leave your names in the comments as I am sure Papa at least will read them. Maybe we’ll do a little contest – if they use your name, you’ll win a prize. Not sure what yet – but something good!
