Our New Pup

Pete and I have been wanting a puppy for a long time now and finally broke down and got one this weekend. I've wanted a Keeshond for about five years now. I randomly decided to check petfinder for one and there was an adorable seven week old Keeshond mix available almost two hours from here. Pete called and she was still available so we made the drive to pick her up. She is sooo cute and very sweet and playful! It's fun having a dog around our apartment. It's kind of like having a baby though. I had to get up in the middle of the night with her several times to take her to the bathroom. We can't leave her unsupervised or she will get into everything she's not supposed to. She whines occasionally because she is not used to being the only dog but they said she would adjust within a week.
We named her Mila. It is russian for darling or sweetie.

Mila already found her favorite spot in our living room next to the fireplace.
We had our ensigns and church news under the tv but Mila wanted to eat them so we had to move them. Once they were cleared out Mila wanted to lay in there.

Wow, Mila is very cute! So does she shed? What are those dogs like? I shouldn't let Jason see this cause he is pet happy...but especially wants a dog! I told him we need to have all our kids first. Anyway Mila is very cute. How big will she get? Love you!

What a cute puppy! Sara Katherine LOVES dogs, and walks around the house with her hands out going, "Dog, dog?" as if to say, "Hey ma, get me a dog!" This one is almost cute enough to make me want too.
