Gideon-July 9th


There's a new kid on the block. Eric and I are officially owners of our first puppy, Gideon Ross! He is a purebred chocolate lab and he is only 9 weeks old. We are so in love with him! We've been talking about getting a dog for awhile now, but never got serious about it. Well, our friends made us aware that they were selling chocolate lab puppies. Monday night we went to "look at him", pretty much knowing full well that we would be coming home with him. As soon as we saw him we knew we were not going home without him! After a trip to the store to get all the puppy supplies we needed, we headed home with our new "baby." It honestly is like having a child. He is constantly needing something-food, water, a potty break, a scolding, some lovin', etc. We (Eric & I, and Gideon) are all learning so much about living together in the same house. Everyone looks at his paws and says,"Oh my, he's going to be big!" And we got the runt of the litter. We are excited about adopting Gideon into our family and hope that a lot of you can come and visit him. He loves to give kisses and is definitely up for walks and playing with whoever comes over!
