Meet Walter


This is our new dog, Walter! He is a one year old Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherd mix. We decided to get a dog from a local shelter instead of a breeder because of a) cost, b) he's already housebroken, and c) shelter dogs need homes too! We think he's pretty cute. And so far he has been a sweetheart. Ernie still isn't sure what to think about him, and barks at Walter a lot. Hopefully he will warm up to him soon! Although Walter is a year old, he is still considered a puppy, and believe me, he acts like it! Everything he thinks looks or smells interesting goes into his mouth. He usually will drop whatever it is when I ask him to. He also puts himself to bed at night in his kennel. We don't have to shut the door, he stays in there all night. Walter loves to put his big fuzzy head in your lap and have you scratch his ears.
Two of our nieces and a nephew have come over to meet him, and they all loved him. As soon as the kids came in, Walter laid down on the floor so they could love on him. When Coco was leaving, she didn't say good bye to anyone but Walter.
So, if you are in need of some lovin' from a big fluffy cream puff named Walter, come on over, he will be happy to oblige!

Easter is on it's way!

It's true, Easter is on the way. Wanna know how I know this? Well, besides looking at any current calendar, something else happened today that signalled the approach of Easter. Yes, today I saw my first Cadbury Creme Egg commercial of 2011. It's official now! Easter is just around the corner! Hahaha, I know it's kinda sad, but seeing that commercial today made me excited. I love me some Cadbury Creme Eggs! Anyone who says different, well, I don't know who you are!
Had a great conversation of the phone with my sis today! I always love catching up with her. She makes me laugh so much!
Tyler and I are slowly, but surely, filling out our adoption papers. I knew there would be a lot of paperwork, but this paperwork is intense! They want to know everything under the sun about us, from descriptions of our siblings, to the name of our first pet. Ok, I exaggerated that last one. I know they just want to be thorough, and give the birth parents a lot of information to make their decision off of. It's a huge decision they are making! At the same time, I feel like I am auditioning to be a prospective parent. It puts a lot of pressure on you to say just the right thing in your profile, because if you don't, it could impact how quickly we adopt. So much pressure!! I just have to try to relax and rely solely on faith and prayer.
