My Puppy

I am so excited, I still can't believe that I got a puppy of my own. Although it still doesn't feel completely real because he isn't home with me yet. He is at his Grandma's house until Thursday so I am getting daily updates from her on all the cute things he has been doing.

I want to proudly introduce our puppy. He is a "shihpoo" which is a shitzu-poodle mix, one of those designer hybrid dogs. He is hypoallergic and doesn't shed. He's three months old now, and was born on Halloween. He's about 7/8 pounds right now and I like that he will be a 'hearty' 15 pounds when he is full grown which I think will be a nice size.

I think we finally settled on calling him Rocky. Mike liked this name because it's kind of a tough name which is ironic because he's so sweet, he's part poodle which is why Mike thought it was funny. He also referenced it to his brother's all time favorite movie, Rocky, of course. My favorite though was tonight when I was talking to our friend Carmen he goes "and it was a Rocky road to getting him," I couldn't help but laugh at that one.

I really can't wait to go pick him up and bring him home on Thursday. I already ordered a child gate to keep him in the kitchen and start preparing for his arrival.

Here's some pictures his Grandma sent me, I will post some better ones once I get to take him home.
