Our Little Graduate and her Bad Hair Day

During tax season, Zoey and I went to puppy school one a week for 6 weeks.  She has learned so much!  She's got the basics down like sit, stay, lay down, high five, and shake. At one point during the classes, our trainer,  realized that Zoey was so smart that she had realized if she did something bad, I would tell her what she needed to do to make it right, she would do it, and then she would get a treat. What a funny dog! She had learned the whole process.  She brings a lot of joy to our lives!  Check out her graduation picture :)

Since we are in the topic of Zoey, and since I already bragged about how awesome she is, I better just come clean about her tragedy of a hair cut. I fell out laughing when I picked her up from the groomer-- apparently, a new dog owner should do a little more research before dropping off her puppy for a hair cut. Mistake made. Lesson learned.  When I brought her home, I think Tyler's exact words were..."What did you do to my dog! She looks like a deer"  Ha!  If you think we are over exaggerating... see for yourself...

Tyler says even poor Zoey was embarrassed of the hair cut I requested for her, but I can post these pitiful pictures because she did return to her normal cute self within a few days :)

I never thought this day would come...

So remember this post? Well it was almost a year ago exactly that I thought a puppy was in the works for Tyler and I.  But with all the transitioning, moving, and business, well, getting a puppy was tabled for a little bit.  But then this month, the idea of a puppy was once again a topic of conversation.

It's funny to me that wanting a dog came up again almost one year to the date.  And there is no mystery why!  Tax season is in full swing for Tyler which means long days and late nights.... and yes, we get to do this until April.  So when Tyler said he was up for getting a dog, I was ecstatic! Here is our little sweetie... Zoey.  She is almost 8 weeks and couldn't get any cuter!  Don't worry, there will be plenty more posts and pictures of her, I promise.
