I’ve waited 2 years, 1 month, 2 weeks and a day for this! Seriously. Justin promised me he would get me a dog when we got married. Well, since we got married we haven’t been allowed dogs where we’ve lived. The apartment we moved into when we got married was great and as soon as we got back from the honeymoon I went straight to the leasing office to find out what pet rent was and that’s when they informed me there were no pets allowed. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” I thought it had to have been a joke for how much we were paying to live there.
So, fast forward 2 years, 1 month, 1 week, and 4 days (basically 4 days ago) Justin and I moved into our first home. Like a home that we own. That’s ours. And I will paint that walls neon green if it tickles my fancy, you know why? Because no one can tell me I can’t. And no one is going to charge me to re-paint the walls back to boring white when we move out. Not worry, our walls WILL NOT be painted neon green. Nonetheless we’re so excited. So now that we finally live in our home where we make the rules, we created rule #1. Buy a dog. So that just what we did.
Look what Justin brought home for me today! His name is Milo and he’s a whole 5 pounds and the greatest cuddler of all time. Is he not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? Justin flew all the way out to New Jersey to get this little ball of fur. I spent countless hours looking for a puppy like him but I couldn’t find a breeder that was closer and had some available at the time. My dear friend Karen bought Milo’s sister just a few weeks ago and when I saw her puppy I was smitten. We have been texting each other about puppies for weeks now, we both speak the same love language…puppies. And the fact that we’re now puppy aunties basically sealed the deal for us. I could not be more in love with this cute little thing! He LOVES being close to us, cuddling, playing, and kissing our faces. When I picked up Justin from the airport today he handed Milo to me and he instantly cuddled up in my arms and starting licking me all over. My heart melted. I have probably squealed more times today that a 5 year old meeting all her favorite princesses at Disneyland. Since Justin had to work tonight, we all hopped in bed for family nap time. That lasted all of about two minutes before Milo wanted to play and jump around. So I took him downstairs to entertain him while hubby slept.
This dog doesn’t even have the slightest clue of how cute he is. I love his little apricot ears. If it weren’t for those, we’d never find him on our rug. HAHA!
He blends in pretty well.

Me meeting Milo for the first time. I’m in love.

Daddy gives the best kisses

Our first family photo. Our attempt at nap time failed miserably because someone wanted to play. Poor Justin is going to be tired at work tonight.

He follows Justin everywhere. It’s so cute.

And again.

I LOVE how snuggly he is.

Cuddled up on my lap while I get some work done. Love having some company now that Justin is back on nights.
