Reece

About a week from now, she will be our new baby.

We met her today at her foster parents' home. They are such nice people and they had 3 very playful puppies at their house. Reece took to us immediately and spent a lot of time jumping up on me and trying to lick my face.

The foster mom basically said we could pick her up tomorrow if we wanted. We still haven't turned in the application, but it seems to be a mere formality at this point. I'm about to send it in.

Reece gets spayed on Tuesday, so after a few days of recovery time, we can go pick her up. :) It will be hard to tear her away from her little canine friends, but we'll do the best we can to socialize her without another dog in the house. We plan to get another dog eventually though.

Time to finish the application and get it in. She said that two other people called about Reece, but seemed to lose interest when she invited them to come out to her house and look at her. We're the only ones who bothered to follow through.

That picture just about did me in. If you don't melt into a puddle of goo at the sight of that photo, you're not possibly human.

Yay -- she's cute!! She looks like my baby, only without the boxer influence. :) Congrats mom & dad!

She's adorable!! You guys are going to have your hands FULL for the next year - we babysat the Coleman's puppy last fall when she was about that age and *whew* did she wear us out!! SO MUCH ENERGY. Absolutely worth it, of course.

I think my nesting/nuturing instincts have begun to kick in - I've been really wanting a second dog. Jason has said that will happen over his dead body. :) One old cranky dog & a baby on the way is enough for him!

A lab ? That'll stop you worrying about how often you get to the gym :)
