Puppy Love

April 15, 2013 by Amy

The following events described in this post were unplanned, unexpected and unexplainable.  

Y’all, I’m in absolute puppy love.

Which is weird because I am not the animal lover of the bunch—any bunch.

 

IMG_5504

 

I mean, I love animals and they’re great but I’m usually more of tolerator than anything.

But the very second I saw this 8 week old Havanese puppy, something cosmic happened.  Something like…love at first sight.

I’m sure you can’t blame me.

I brought her home Friday night—Scott and the girls didn’t even go with me.  They’d seen her picture and were all for it if that’s what I wanted.

And I did. 

I really wanted a dog that would keep me company while I worked at home.

And my goodness, if this keeps up, I’ll just die of cuteness overload.

She’s a feisty little thing when she wants to be.

And is just so darn happy.

She stays at my feet and follows me around like a shadow.

I was a little surprised but her and Tucker are getting along famously.

I admit, I like it a little too much that she annoys him more than he annoys her.

I love when she runs because she hops like a bunny more than runs.

She hasn’t quite mastered the stairs and I hope she never does.

The girls love her too.  Emma is an absolute mommy figure to her.

And as the animal lover of our family, Lexi is head over heels.

I admit, I’m becoming one of THOSE dog owners.

We carried her around to all of our errands this weekend and I might have let the girls convince me to buy her a skirt.

And let her nap in a toy cradle.

So with that, I’d like you to meet the newest member of the family—Bella. 

For good, bad, smelly or dirty, I just know she’s meant to be a Bennett.

    Amy, she is adorable. I’m getting a cavapoo puppy later this week. Your pictures have me even more excited, and I was super excited already. Enjoy your newest member of the family.

    Ohmigosh, she is so cute! Almost makes me want to run out & get one! Enjoy her!

      Thanks 🙂 I think I forgot how much work a puppy is but the cuteness factor makes up for it!

    Oh my gosh, she is adorable! That skirt is just way too cute. Leila has wanted a dog for years but Raouf is not a fan and she’s allergic to most breeds (although she insists the puffy eyes and runny nose have NOTHING to do with the dogs). One look at Bella’s face and Leila would be completely sold.

      This dog doesn’t shed so maybe it wouldn’t be too bad with the allergies?

    Oh my word. She is adorable! How big will she get?

    I’ve never been a dog lover. NEVER. But I love my Jackson baby like he’s my third child. The shedding I could do without…lol

      On average they get to be about 10 lbs.

    How adorable! I have always been a dog lover, and at present I have a Shih Tzu. He makes me go outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and he makes me chase him around the apartment while he plays keep-away with his favorite toy of the day. Enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine!

      We looked at getting a Shih Tzu first–I’m sure yours is adorable 🙂

      I completely understand your lack of fervor for dogs. So glad her cuteness got through to you though 🙂
