If you haven't seen my facebook then you're missing out on all the cute photos of our NEW PUPPY!!!!

Yes, it's true....I wrote a post on Wednesday and that afternoon we went down to the humane society here and picked up our new puppy!! We have been looking at some on their website and on their facebook page. We went Tuesday to see some dogs and possibly adopt. Most were in the 6mos - 1year age which is a great age and we thought that's what we wanted, but none seemed to tug our hearts and make us feel like this is the one we HAD to have. They had many great looking dogs, all happy to see us, and all needing a good home, but I think we realized we wanted a puppy. We left with the plan to go back every few days to see who was new and to keep looking online. Tuesday night we found "Jasmine" on facebook and immediately Darin and I fell in love.

So Wednesday I started calling after lunch to see if she "Jasmine" would be there. They didn't keep the puppies at the humane society, they had them in foster homes until they were old enough to be there. I had to call her foster mom Shelley who was so nice on the phone and actually on her way to the humane society then. Darin and I finished up at work and headed right over. I think Darin was just as excited as I was, he was so happy to go look at this little puppy we saw on facebook. On the way there I was crossing my fingers that we would feel that little tug on our hearts and fall in love even more right away with her. We met Shelley and she walked us back, Jasmine was in a little cage with one of her sisters, she was sitting in the very back all quiet. We got her out and held her and that was it....Darin held her and she just looked like she fit perfect with him. We got to spend a little time in a room with her to see her play and run around, talk to Shelley, and soon enough we were in the car with her, and a pee on my lap later.....she was ours!! We're not sure what breed she is, because she's a "potcake", which, like i've said before, are what the locals call stray dogs who roam and breed with each other. They're so mixed with breeds, you don't know what they are anymore. We know she was found with her 2 sisters and I think a brother in a basket somewhere. She's the only white one and she's also the biggest. The vet said she looked heathy and happy at a whole 9.5 lbs at 9 wks. Here's some photos of our little peanut potcake, Remie!!!

i hope she doesn't chew shoes later, right now she just likes to lay on them

 

how we ride in the car....for now anyway

9 wks, 9.5lbs
