Meet Juliet

You know after our Rusty passed away...after 15 years with us...I wasn't ready for a new dog.
And we were going to wait until we were in a home without wheels....but the heart wants 
what the heart wants. :)
Julia and I began to feel the need....and Keith finally got on boat.
Really...we didn't have to try to hard to convince him.....we just had to put our foot down about a smaller dog or we would have come home with something huge.
I told him he could get one when we get a house.......since there is only room for one dog in this camper.
So today we brought our newest baby home.
Meet...Juliet.
 
Julia and Juliet going for their first walk to meet the neighbor kids...the kids were almost as excited as she was about her getting a dog. That is sweet friendship!
Then it was time for a bath.....and a little snuggle time to stay warm while she dried.


They tell us that she is a boxer/terrier mix...she reminds us of Rusty without the pug.


Keith and Juliet.


Is that too sweet or what!
She is already close to 20 pounds at 5 months although she does not look that big....so she will get bigger.
Right now she is resting by me on the couch while I blog...I think her romps in the snow wore her out.


And although I really wanted something much smaller


I think she will make a loving addition to our family.
And MawMaw....just in case you are reading this.....Julia got Juliet a pink camo dog collar.
Thought you might appreciate that. :)

Cute little dog! Can't wait to meet her. Doesn't look hopeful for a walk around the lake this week, but maybe soon! As long as she gets out for walks, she'll never begrudge you the small quarters.

She's beautiful! Love how the names worked out! Julia and Juliet! Lovely that Julia's friends were so happy for her! Sweet!

I'm good, getting ready to jump in the shower and run to church, Jason for music practice and me for Beth Moore Bible study! Then to work for a couple hours for both of us! :) YAY!

Love you!
