We are getting a puppy!

Our family has been discussing getting a pet since this past fall.  We initially agreed that we would get a kitten since they would be soft and cuddly but less maintenance than a dog.  We even bought all the supplies for our future kitten and were only days away from adopting one when we discovered Maggie was quite allergic to cats.  We were all devastated to discover we couldn't get a cat.  Well, after that, we started the long and difficult discussion about getting a dog.  Our gut reaction was "Definitely not!  Been there, done that, not again!"  However, after I did hours and hours of research, we found an amazing breed of dog that seemed perfect for our family, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.  Now it still was a very difficult decision to get all family members on board and to feel very confident in the decision to take the plunge into dog-ownership again, but we eventually all came around to realizing it would be a fun and wonderful adventure for our family.  In January we found the perfect breeder and on March 31, 2017 our puppy was born. 

Last weekend, we got to meet our 4-week old puppy in Auburn, along with her 4 other siblings.  They were all too cute!!!








We can't wait to bring Penelope home on June 10th!
