Thursday night Steve walked in with this...
Yep. A 9-week-old Maltese puppy. It was a complete surprise! We had looked at a couple online and had talked about getting one maybe in the summer. So I was not at all expecting this little Valentine (from my Valentine:)
Are we crazy? Probably. Is he adorable? Definitely. Steve and I both grew up with dogs, and I am certain he was just as excited as I was. Now, I must say, it has been 10 years since we had a puppy. They are not low maintenance. Taking them out constantly, a little whining, lovely puppy breath, and so on. The first night I was out with him in the middle of the night (2:48am to be exact)in the rain. Since then, he has been sleeping in a kennel upstairs and has really done fine. He is just precious, and we are all crazy about him.
This is where I must give props to Stella, the cat, for being the most low maintenance pet we have ever owned (coming from someone who didn't particularly care for cats and surely didn't want to own one)! She prefers mostly to be outside and breezes in from time to time as she pleases. And she OWNS Wilson. He went after her a time or two and that was a time too many. It is truly amazing that the two of them get along so well, considering Wilson is an 11-year-old-set-in-his-ways Jack Russell and she is a spunky, feisty, newcomer feline. And she thinks the new guy is pretty cool, too.
Rest assured that with a dog, a cat, a puppy, and three fish, we are DONE!
And this little fellow still needs a name...(Owen calls him "the boy"...HELP:)

Pretty. Doggone. CUTE.
Oh my gosh! That little guy is so adorable!!! Ok, here are some names that I think would suit this sweetheart: Atticus, Bailey, Bentley, Winston, Tanner, Cupid. Ok, I think I got way too into helping name your puppy dog, but I'm excited to know what ya'll choose! Have fun!
I would like to snuggle him.... I don't know why cats get such a bad rep....they are awesome pets!
He is just tooooo cute! I'm terrible at naming pets. Thankfully our Rio was already named when we got him, or else he'd be named Puppy or Sport or something like that!
I don't know Kristen, I think that he looks like a bruiser to me. Also, tell Steve that Price loves his hat so much that he actually took a nap in his hat on Saturday. I have pictures to prove. Thanks, Beth Barkett
How adorable! I like puppy breath...it shouldn't be listed as a con!! I want to meet him. We will not get to have a puppy for a long, long time considering we have two neglected dogs in our backyard! Do you have a name yet??
