Puppy Power!

I'm at Kohl's today shopping for bras and I get a frantic call from Jodi. She has been searching the internet for weeks now for the perfect dog. However, she keeps flip flopping about the actual purchase. Today was the day. The perfect dog was up for dibs and it was only a 45 minute drive away. She tells me that I'm suppose to talk her off the ledge. So, I cancel my plans and go with her to the appointment she has set up to "meet" the dogs. When we get there they have two different kinds of dogs and five puppies to choose from. As soon as I see the dogs I fall in love with one in particular. I tell Jodi that I'm going to get that dog-- end of story. It was love at first sight. Keep in mind that Tim and I have had this discussion through the years and it always ends with Tim telling me we will NEVER have a dog. I've conceded to his decision and not really thought a ton about it. There are pros and cons to each.... blah blah blah. But this dog was calling to me! So I tell Jodi that we need to break for lunch and come back when we have thought through it properly (you know with those cute little faces out of sight). I make a quick call to Tim and he caves reserving the right to pout about it. So-- I got a dog! Does this girl look happy or what?!?!

He has been so mellow and good.

He is a yorkiechon and the biggest he will get is 10 pounds. He doesn't shed and he is really quiet.

Since I named all of the kids, I thought I'd let Tim name the dog. I let him choose between Rusty or Scrufty. He liked Rusty. So I'd like to introduce you to our newest and last addition to our family, Rusty the dog. Welcome!
