It's a 4 Ring Circus!

Lucy joins the circus

I will post more details later, but the pug pickup yesterday was successful.  Of course I am now eyeball-deep in puppy-ness, in addition to the usual holiday celebrating, but it is all so fun.  I love Christmas -- all of the kids are very much into the decorating, music, food, etc.  It is such a magical time for the kids, and is all the more magical with the addition of an adorable ball of fur to the family! 

Here is a picture as we were leaving our breeder's home -- Lucy was not too happy about the cold air (it was her first time outside) and she was trying her best to climb into my neck!

A super cute pic of Lucy and Ava:

Looking cute on the couch (the girls posed her for this picture):

And finally, taking a good hard snooze -- I actually had to put her doggie bed inside of the portable baby crib so that she could get some rest from all of the kids who were trying to love her to death!

If those aren't enough for you, then there are more in the "Lucy" folder to your left.  Over and out!

New picture of Lucy

I will post about the Thanksgiving festivities probably tomorrow, but wanted to get this up.  The breeder emailed me a new picture of Lucy today, she is too darn cute!!  We pick her up in 2 more weeks!

Call me crazy (but you won't be the first!)

I have mentioned that we were considering getting a dog sometime soon.  We actually found a breeder that we really like who lives about an hour & a half from here and we went to go visit her about two weeks ago.  My brother and his family went with us, and the pugs LOVED it that 6 little kids came over to visit.  They especially loved to gang up on my nephew and lick him up, which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy.  We were having too much fun playing with all of the dogs to get many pictures, but here are a couple.

   

The black pug is Max, and he is the father of this next litter that we will adopt from.  The mom is the fawn color.  We were hoping to get a black female (what Delaney wants), and when the puppies were born early this last Monday, we found out that there was indeed a black female.  Everyone is very excited.  Here is the newborn (we're going to call her Lucy) and with her momma and siblings:
