Hell has officially frozen over!

I am NOT a dog person!!!! I am probably the last person you would ever expect to get a dog....but like I said, Hell has frozen over. We got a puppy!

We weren't even looking for a dog. Gina, Adam, Tyler, and I went to a Memorial Day Parade on Monday. At the parade someone was selling 9 week old Pomchi's. They are a Pomeranian Chihauhau mix. When I held him I just loved him instantly! We took a picture and brought it to Mario's work. He tried to act like he didn't want to buy the puppy, but continued to call about 20 times through the day asking questions about him. I called Janice, who has a chihauhau mix, and asked tons of questions. I also did lots of research and found that pomchi's are great dogs. They are intelligent and loyal. So after Mario got off of work we went to see the puppy and his parents. Obviously we brought him home!

We named him Jasper, which I think is just perfect. Gina and I were trying to think of names and when she said Jasper it just clicked. He is not a vampire (thank goodness!) but has a calming disposition just like Jasper Hale. Mario wasn't too crazy about having a Twilight name! hahaha

He has been such a good puppy! Jasper stays in the Laundry room. We put up a gate so he can see us and he likes to play with his toys in there and he sleeps in a crate. He loves to run around outside and is already trained to go potty in one corner of the yard. We haven't let him on the carpet yet. He walks to the edge of the hardwood and stands in front of the carpet just looking. Then he puts one foot over and looks at us. He's trying to test his boundaries (just like Adam!). He also loves to be held and will snuggle in your arms for hours. Oh, and the best part is....he doesn't shed! I haven't seen a single hair come off of him. I hope that part lasts!

Jasper has a little teddy bear that he likes to sleep with. It is so cute! Adam is in puppy paradise and just runs with him for hours in the backyard. Tyler is learning to be gentle and pet instead of grab. I think they will be great friends! Gina, Mario's sister who is living with us, loves Jasper and is so helpful with teaching how to care for a puppy. Mario still thinks we are going to forget to feed him or something....silly Mario!

So pretty much, we are all in love with Jasper and having a great time!

Best Buddies!!!

Gina LOVES Jasper and the feeling is mutual!

He is not much bigger than my cell phone. I think he is about 2 pounds and is only supposed to be about 6 or 7 lbs. full grown.

How cute!
