It's a Girl!

I had a baby. Okay, I didn't "have" the baby, but I bought one! Here's the story.

I was staying after school for some parent-teacher conferences at the elementary school in Idaho Falls. My friend and I went to Walmart to kill some time between when school ended and when the conferences began. There was a truck that was selling puppies in the Walmart parking lot. We stopped to look at the puppies. When I was walking to the little box they had the puppies in I noticed the adult dog in the truck. It was a dachshund (wiener dog)!! Holy moly. Holy guacamole. Holy everything! That is Travis's and my dream dog. So I peer into the little box full of puppies.... and they're little wiener dogs! I seriously almost cried. I asked how much they were and the lady says "50 bucks" like it's no big deal! Seriously?! Okay, I really almost cried. They're $600+ everywhere I've seen. I immediately called Travis and he gave me the go ahead. I picked out our baby and arranged pick up. I was staying at the elementary school until 8:00 for conferences so I had to arrange a place to pick up our puppy after that. I couldn't concentrate on anything during the conferences. My legs were shaking because I was so excited.

We love our new baby. She's so smart and playful. She has such a personality. I've never had a dog. Yeah NEVER! I've always ALWAYS wanted one. And finally I have one. It's a lot more work than I imagined, but so worth it. She loves Travis and I. She's so tiny. We're excited to see what she'll grow up to look like. She's half dachshund and half pug. We love love love love love her. The little puppy temporarily filled a little hole I've had in my heart for a while. I've needed something to care for. My mommy instincts have been aching. So this will hold me over (for at least a couple more months haha).

We love her coloring!

Her favorite way to sleep is on her back.

She's eating a leaf.

She loves this monkey!

Her first bath! Sorry it's blurry.

Sorry if I sound like a crazy dog lady. I'm just so excited and happy that little Lyla is in our life. She's wonderful.
