Our very first puppy!

Thought it was going to be a rather uneventful Sunday when we decided to take a trip up North yesterday morning in hopes of getting some cooler weather and seeing some fall leaves happening ...Instead we got the biggest surprise EVER~~

We were just about an hour into our trip when, on the side of the road, I see this truck and it has a sign on it for "FREE PUPPIES". I looked at Eric who was driving and I asked.."did you see that??" And he goes..."Yeah..did you want to take a look?" Without any hesitation at all I said...Yeah I would.

We pulled over and I got out of the truck really not thinking anything of it. Of course it was impossible to leave the girls in the car so they immediately asked to see the puppies as well. There were 4 puppies total, most of them all black, some of them just had a few white spots on. We were told they were a mix between a boxer ( from the dad) and a herder type dog ( from the mom).

I have never had a pet in my entire life and recently found out I am allergic to them as well. However I can honestly say I'd been playing with the idea of maybe having a dog one day. Eric blames it on "Marley and me" the movie which we just watched the other day.

So, as we were still checking out the puppies yesterday we noticed this little fur ball almost all black just one little white spot on her belly and she's just about as mellow as I've ever seen a puppy. All I can remember after is almost begging Eric to take it home. By this time the girls were all mesmerized and just trying to take it all in. My hubby looked at me with a look that looked like: "Who are you and what have you done with my wife?" but instead he said: "Are you sure??"

By the time we had made our decision to take the puppy, one of the brothers had already been taken by another gentleman who also had pulled over on the side of the road.

We took her in the car and we had to go buy all the supplies needed for her since we had nothing at home. Lucky for us, there's a Walmart at almost every corner.

We continued on with our drive and didn't get back home until almost 8 PM that day. We decided to name her Izzie and we are soo glad to have her in our home. I feel like she truly completes us a family and we're looking forward to lots of great memories. For now it's still a learning process.

We're hoping to find out more about her at her vet appointment next week.

A look that says it all.
