what were we thinking?

Meet the newest addition to the family...



our new puppy.

You're thinking..."Awww, he's cute!" or maybe "Puppies are so sweet!"

You know what I am thinking? "What were we thinking?!?!"

Lately, Emma has had a fascination with the movie Lady and the Tramp.

Oh, by the way.  I am totally realizing now that Disney movies were a little racy back in the day.  I mean a philandering dog named Tramp?  How about the the girl dog that sings, "He's a tramp, but I love him..."  Uhmm, yeah.  By the way, Emma sings that song all the time.  Try explaining to other customers in a store why she is singing that song.

Anyways, back to our new dog.  Emma has been saying over and over to us that she wants to get a lady dog.  Well, on Valentine's Day we went to the Flea Market in Tupelo (I know what you're thinking.  Could our Valentine's Day be any more romantic?).  Dogs were a plenty there.  Emma found her lady there.

Except is was black and white not blond and it was no lady at all.  It was a male.  Emma called him Lady for the first few days before we could settle on a name.  I was content to let her call him lady, but Jason was not going to have our boy emasculated in that way.  I suggested maybe the name "Dude, looks like a lady!", but alas that was turned down also.  So, Jason and I compromised.

Meet Harley. 

We decided on that name so that Jason's need for a motorcycle will be put to rest for awhile.  He now has his own Harley... and we will sell him to the highest bidder:)

OOH! I love that new baby!!!! He looks so precious!! Is he peeing on everything, yet? :) Gotta love that part of a new puppy! I bet the girls are ga-ga over him!

Missed ya and was wondering how you guys were. Glad to hear you guys are settling in and making some new bud's.

Hey - tell J I got a 50mm for Valentine's Day (and Mother's Day, and my birthday, and our anniversary.) According to Dewayne I have received my one "gift" for the year. That's OK, though, because it is TOTALLY worth it!
