Ellie/Bella

About 2 weeks ago, we were out running errands.  At one of our stops, there were some puppies that were available for adoption. 

(Here is a picture that I tweeted that night.)

One of the puppies was the calmest puppy I have ever seen.  While the other 8 puppies were running around, crawling all over each other, she just sat there watching everything.  Josh took her out and she cuddled up to him and started to fall asleep.

After we left, Josh and I had a long conversation.  We have been talking about when we were going to get a new dog for awhile now.  We've been a little nervous....  Plus we have a new baby and all.  So, we weren't really sure if it was the right time.  But we were pretty sure this was the right dog.

So, meet Ellie.

Well... sometimes her name is Ellie.  Other times Alyse calls her Bella.  So, I'm not really sure what her name is.  I think Ellie.  Maybe Bella is just her nick name. :)

She is a 14wk lab mix.

Alyse loves her!  And she loves Alyse right back.

She also loves to hang out with Breeley. 

(She is a little calmer than the 3yr old!)

She is a great little puppy.
She sleeps all night, has only had a few accidents in the house, hasn't chewed anything, and is so quiet and calm!
We took her to the pet store yesterday.  I was tempted to buy her these hairbows, but I resisted and bought her a fancy pink "jeweled" collar and leash instead.
Poor Josh.  He is still all alone - even the dog is girly!
