The New Addition to Our Family

My boyfriend and I have been wanting a puppy for a while but did not know if it was the right time. This past Friday we decided to just look around to see if anything caught our eye. We knew we want a bigger dog but still had not narrowed it down by this time. We found a website online for a place that sold puppies but it closed in 2 hours so we decided to go. We rushed over and had time to see all the puppies and play with them. There was one puppy there that stood out. He was a boxer, but was very expensive so we choose to wait and see if we found any for cheaper. Since we saw and fell in love with the boxer we started trying to find just boxers. We called a few people Saturday after we got back from Game Day but all the people we called only had girls and we were looking for a boy. We now at this point were really getting into it and couldn’t wait any longer. Saturday night when we were watching the Memphis game we told my boyfriend’s sister that we were looking at dogs. It ended up that her in-laws’ neighbor was selling boxer pups. Sunday morning she got us the number for the person selling the puppies and we called and made an appointment. The guy had two boys and a girl left. They were all really cute but one seemed just right for us. We ended up getting him and named him Kelso. We are now one happy family! Kelso is a great puppy. He is a little difficult to take care of just because he will wake up in the middle of the night and cry but other than that he has been awesome. He is really playful and loves people. I had him the first night and last night Kelso stayed with his daddy. Right now we are learning a lot. It is defiantly preparing us for the future. I really recommend getting a dog but make sure you have lots of time and attention to give. They are a handful but ultimately they are a joy to have.

That is so exciting that yall got a puppy! I love boxers too! We had a white one and it was like the best dog ever! They mind really well and are not too difficult to train! I am sure you and Chris are great parents too! Ha And at least yall did something productive since yall left the game after already getting up super early and waiting for Gameday!
