The Myers' Get A Puppy!

When we first got married, we brought home a stray boy yorkie. He was scruffy, wild & not a puppy like we thought. After 8 months of having him, we decided to find him another home. It wasn't that we couldn't handle a dog the first time around, but we just didn't make him a priority like we should have, and lived in an apartment. We made a LOT of mistakes with our first experience of being dog owners, and we had more failures in it than success, but we learned!

Two years later, we are ready to try this whole dog thing again! We are trying to be prepared & educated. Pinterest has taught me so much! We've purchased a legit dog crate for her to sleep in at night. In fact, we've purchased a LOT for her, and we still don't get her for two more weeks! :) I've been trying to clean every inch of our home extra close to make sure she won't get into anything. I feel like I'm puppy nesting, haha.

Jearen called me one Friday and at the end of the conversation he mentioned us getting a dog. I haven't talked about a dog in a LONG time (the only time I mentioned it was when we were putting our hardwood floors down). He was pretty set on getting a girl labordoodle, and I just thought it was the sweetest thing. Over the weekend we talked about all of the pros/cons and I had several doubts (just being honest) but his desire for this dog just cancelled my doubts.

We picked the name Maggie because Jearen grew up with a dog named Maggie, and I wanted to keep it in the family. We picked her out last Friday night, and are enjoying all of our time before we officially become a family of 3 ;)!

Any suggestions, encouragement or advice would be great for us with raising this little gal. It's going to be hard work, but I'm excited to have another chance to be the best puppy mom I can be.

Counting down till she's home!
