We have welcomed a new member to our family. She is a 2 month old yellow lab named Maddie. She is so adorable and we have had so much fun with her so far! Getting her was totally out of the blue and not planned at all. About 2 weeks ago Cole came home from work and told me that his secretaries friends dog just had lab puppies. She told Cole that they had one left if we wanted it. So the next day we drove out to Sunset, Utah to look at the puppy. Trust me when I say that you should never go even look at a puppy if you are not 100% planning on getting one, because you can not say no to them! We instantly fell in love with her and told the people that we wanted her. It was fun to see the Mom of our puppy and very interesting to see how all of the puppies turned out. The mom was a black lab and the dad was a yellow lab with a hint of wire hair in him. Out of the 9 puppies 7 of them were black and only 2 were yellow. We were so happy that we were able to get her! She is so cute and has such a fun personality. So we drove back to SLC with our new puppy in my lap!
Cole and I are learning a lot about puppies and are trying our best to train her. Let's just say that we have had a few frustrating moments, but it is always too hard for us to stay mad at her for long! Everyone we know thinks we are crazy to get a lab after seeing the movie Marley and Me. But we think our little puppy is going to be such a fun adventure for us and will teach us how to love and take care of something besides ourselves. Not to mention we will have a very trustworthy companion that will always love US no matter what! We can't wait for the fun adventures ahead with our little pooch. We plan on taking her hiking often, taking her up to some lakes to swim and play fetch and of course taking her on many walks (not to mention help keep us in shape!). Here are a few pictures of our little pup and some of the fun times we have had in the 2 short weeks we have had her.
For some reason Maddie thinks the coffee table is her bed! Anytime she wants to sleep she lays there! What a funny dog! She always makes us laugh at the cute things that she comes up with! We are glad to welcome her to our family!
