puppy love

Guess who got to play with a bunch of puppies yesterday? You don’t really have to guess, I’ll just tell you – it was me.

When I came back from my trip to Kansas/Philadelphia, my dad informed me that we were going to be getting another dog. My mom’s friend’s dog gave birth to six cute, adorable little puppies last month. I got to play with all them! The one I liked the best (who kept sleeping in my lap) was already staying with one of the families. There was another one, a spunky little pup who is black and white (now named Panda) is also staying with them. That left four puppies for my choosing. Two were exactly alike, just different sexes. They were dubbed “the twins” and they hoped to give them away together. They were mostly white with two big black spots over their head and eyes. There was another one that looked just like the dad, all white with one little black spot over the eye and a little strip of black over the other eye. And then there was the one I choose, which looked unlike the rest: a small, mostly brown with spots of black and white paws. It’s a girl! So cute. I’m still trying to think of a name. My mom suggested “Misha” which I just thought was weird. My dad blurted out “Sandy” today, but I think I prefer “Maya” right now. That might change.

I hope Rocky takes to the little pup well. I think he will though, he’s pretty mellow himself. He’s a good old dog. I gave him a bath today. He was pretty good about it, sitting in the tub and just looking sadly at me. I had to carry him up the stairs though since his back legs don’t work. I should have carried him down the stairs as well though because he went down too fast and flew headfirst right into the wall! Poor dog. He was okay though.

I love puppies! The end.
