Snuggling with her new "baby"So I have had a super-duper busy week this week. Seriously slacking on the old posting duties. And there will be pictures when I get home from work tonight, but had a minute so I thought I'd get caught up.
First of all, Annie is not a baby, in case you at all were concerned.
Annie is Ellie's christmas present. She is a bitty golden retriever puppy. No, I am not insane, but I can't stand homelessness, and of course, baby Annie needed a home.
Annie was born the end of September with her litter. She was to be sold by her breeders. Well, lo and behold, they couldn't sell the pups. Nobody can afford to take care of a puppy in this economy. They couldn't care for the pups. They were bound for the pound or worse.
A friend of Matt's at work, it was someone his wife knew that had these pups. She found out, then Seth found out, and couldn't allow that to happen. So they went about finding homes for these puppies. And one of those homes happened to be ours. The funny thing is, Ellie had actually put a real dog on her Santa list just this past week. And then this fell into our lap. So we told her, she was getting her present from mommy and daddy a bit early this year.
She named Annie all by herself. She couldn't wait to get her home and start training her. She is absolutly beautiful and of course, Ellie loves having her own puppy to lead around. Kailey keeps watching her and getting so excited. Chloe is kind of ignoring her, but hopefully that will get better with time.
So for now, I will get going and post some pics later tonight. I am a sucker, I know.
But tell me, could you resist?
