Accomplished.

Kyle and I set some goals for 2012. One of those was to get a puppy. And now look where we are...

Last Monday I contacted a breeder for a Norfolk Terrier that was an hour away to see if she was having a litter this summer. She emailed me back and told me that she was! And the puppies would be here in May. Perfect timing. The next day she sent me a note and said that she did have a 5 year old Norwich Terrier up for adoption though if we were interested. Hmmm. So the conversation went on all week as we exchanged questions, lifestyles, habits, and interests of both parties-- us and the dog. She wanted to make sure she was going to go to a good home.

We had never really considered adopting a dog, but we figured it was worth a shot to at least go meet her and the breeder. What did we have to lose, right? We "were just going to look at her."

We got there and sweet little Nacho (the name is the only thing I don't love about her) was looking at us with her cute brown eyes and stole our hearts. Kyle quickly turned to me and said, "we're taking her home tonight." And this picture perfectly describes how I was feeling.

Nervous. We didn't have a crate, food, leash, or anything when we left with Nacho last night. It breaks my heart thinking we took her from her home (of 20 other dogs and several horses on a huge farm in Tuscaloosa), but she needed a new home and more attention. Her mom was an award winning show dog, and this little pup has been very well taken care of! Almost too well. She has a few pounds she could lose. But we like her little pot belly!

And then there were 3.
