It's A Girl!

HEHEHE! So funny, I forgot to laugh!


Actually my one stipulation when we first talked about getting a dog was that it had to be a girl, and that I got to name her, and...Okay there was definitely more than one. We have talked about getting a puppy for a while, and have even gone looking at shelter's. We received an email about a puppy being given away for free, so we thought we would give it a shot. I think we were both a little hesitant because she's very timid. We weren't sure if it was going to be a good fit. What with 3 loud little boys. But so far we love her. She has warmed up to everyone so well, and is the best puppy we could ask for. She is a 12 week old Jack- a- bee. Part Jack russell tarrier, part beagle. She will grow to be a medium size dog. She won't shed to much, and is really smart. She sleeps in her kennel all night and doesn't wine or cry. We haven't even heard her bark yet. She eats good, and sleeps a lot. She has minimal accident's, and is very good about going outside. Our only complaint, and it's really not a complaint I promise. Is that she is so timid. If you move real sudden she'll flinch. She doesn't like to be picked up either. She's getting a lot better about this and let's me and Richard pick her up with out getting defensive now. She likes to play like any normal puppy, and the boys are really enjoying her. Jaren enjoys her the most and is always asking to get her out of her kennel and to take her outside. Jace keeps saying he loves her although he's still a little unsure. Tate thinks her name is "goo grl" which translates to good girl. Her actual name is Rose. Yes, picked out by yours truly. Not really sure why I picked that to be honest. Whatever?!?! When I pulled out the camera to take a picture she was already giving me the, crazy lady with a camera look. She was resting but you get the point.




p.s. She matches my living scape. Not one of the stipulations, I promise.

she is adorable....I love the first picture especially! I love dogs I just don't like to take care of them & they don't live long enough either. I hate being sad so I just avoid it all together! LOL!
