I. am. in. love...

[Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly]

She's here..she's here. Lilly is here with me in my house and in my heart. Papa Scott and I are over the moon thrilled. So here's the day. I woke up without the alarm clock at 6AM. We drank some coffee, I took a shower and was otu of the house by 7. We are unable to use HWY 29 since the floods closed the road. ( I am very bitter with Corp of Engineers not letting water out of the dam sooner.. but I am in to good of a mood to b*tch about it here) After driving through corn field roads and stopping at Cracker Barrel for bisquits and gravy, we continued to Tara's house (breeder) and little Lilly.

Lilly met us in a towel since she had just gotten a bath. Tara's daughter Bella- age 6 had chosen Lilly (lucy is what they called her) as her favorite and loved her and carried her around. We brought her a stuffed dog..(one of those webkins..whatever that is) and a letter thanking her for taking such good care of Lilly.

I held Lilly on my lap for the trip on. I had taken a baby blanket and rubbed Lilly's mom with it to get her scent on it. Her is what I took for the 3 hours home. Water. ( and that container thing that you put water in and it goes in a bowl and then you turn the bowl up and the water goes back in the container.. have no idea what it is called..but pretty cool.) puppy pads, baby wipes, changing pad to put on my lap in case of accidents, collar, leash, carrying case, and puppy food. Oh and I took the camera for a ride since I was toooo excited and forgot to take pictures.. 

As soon as we got home, I put her on the grass and she went pee. She is training me to take her out. I missed once and she went on the kitchen floor.

I ahve been up and down and on the floor and outside more in 4 hrs since I dont' remember when. wish I had a photo of Scott in the doggy playpen with Lilly. More tomorrow on how tonight goes.

So much joy about to happen at your house...enjoy every moment it goes by super fast, not the joy though just the puppy time.

Sounds like a love story in the making.  Enjoy little Miss Lilly!

Have fun!  Enjoy the young puppy phase while it lasts :)  Luna grew like a weed and before I knew it her old self could fit under her new self.

We look forward to adorable baby pictures!

[Phoebe's Mom]

Congratulations!  Savor the puppy times --even the frustrating ones--as it all goes by so quickly.  Of course, you do get a wonderful adult dog at the end so it is all good!  Waiting for the pictures...

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Sounds like you're off to a great start with Lilly.  I hope your first night with new "baby" went well.

 Mimi - The water thing you described sounds like a slurpie!!!  That's what I use with Bexter when we go on walks.  How'd the first NIGHT go?
