It's A Girl!

We have finally found our puppy! We will bring little Maxine home this Friday! She is an 11 week old Maltese female.

My prayers were answered when I found the nicest woman with a litter of puppies for adoption in a near by town!
Vern and I went  to meet the owner and puppy a few days after Christmas and we fell immediately in love. This puppy is the sweetest little snuggle baby I have ever seen. It didn't take us long to decide. ha ha
We all felt it was best that we leave Maxine with her doggy Mom for a few more weeks. She still had a little growing up to do and we had a house to puppy proof! The Christmas tree has now been put away,our bedroom has been rearranged to accommodate her pink crate,Vern painted the kitchen and hung the new light/fan fixture and we have removed/vacuumed and dusted every inch of the house for any possible choke hazards or disasters. Today I visited the local doggy boutique and bought her a pink striped hand knit sweater and a light pink coat made of the snuggly-est fabric you have ever felt. It feels ssoooo gooood to finally have a little girl to spoil with pink and girlyness! I am anxiously counting down the days until Friday...3 1/2 to be exact. Here are some of the pictures from our first meeting with Maxine and her owner.

Many more pictures to come! Plus, I will be sure to catch up about the holidays and show off my new kitchen :)
