New addition...

Here is Sadie helping Josh drive home from Brigham City

Her first day home. This is when she was excited and jumping around.

Always wants to be sleeping where I am. She is good about going to bed in her kennel at night.

I just wanted to show off our new addition to the family. First off, Josh and I went to the doctor to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl... :) I'll post later about that. Then we went up to Brigham City to see two different dogs (both of which I found on KSL). One was an adorable Maltipoo puppy, about 9 weeks old. The other was a 5 year old female purebred boxer. I never thought I would pick a 5 year old dog over an adorable puppy, but she was so cute and I think she fits right in with our little family. Her name is Sadie Sue. She has a lot of training to work on, but so far she is pretty good.

The first day we got her I dropped her off at home and had to run to work for a couple hours. Josh came home to her first mess... she went through the pantry and pulled out bags of rice as well as a bag or marshmallows of which she consumed. I think she had a stomach ache the first night. The third day having her (Thursday the 26th) she snagged an entire loaf of bread off of the counter and ate the whole thing while I was at work. (Josh is out of town this week so I have her all to myself this first week having her.) She also decided something smelled good in our garbage-can and decided to sort through that. And to top it off, she left me a nice little wet spot on the carpet. So much for the 5 year old part huh?

She is not all bad, in fact most of the time she just steals my heart completely . She loves to give kisses and sit right on/next to me, and she loves to be in whatever room I am in even if I am just taking my pregnant nap of the day. She does this cute hop/bounce springy jump when she is excited to see me or knows we are going for a walk... and she loves to cuddle with me. Luckily she is a small boxer or I would be in trouble. We are having a lot of fun getting to know each other and I definitely enjoy the company since my husband is traveling. I'm sure there will be more fun to come with sweet Sadie.

p.s. I gave our two adorable cats, Kramer and Lucy, to my sister who lives on a ton of land. Lucy had cute kittens and Kramer found a new home at my sister's Mother-in-Law's house. They are actually very happy there and I am relieved that they are doing so well and (I think) in a happier place.
