Lily Comes Home


It’s doggie time! David couldn’t possibly live alone one second longer, so we were on a mission to find a dog before he had to start work at Enrst & Young. We finally found her in Amarillo, and drove out to pick her up. (That first picture is us in her backyard.) She was with a family of four little boys, who took care of her when her mom was sick. As a result, whenever she sees a small child, she takes off to chase them down and lick them to death. They re usually not amused, nor are their parents. Her dad was this huge bulk of a dog, and really friendly. We picked her up, played a bit, and after all the paperwork was signed, and the photo taken, we took her back with us to Dallas, which took forever since we had to stop every hour to ensure there were no accidents in my new car. She was such a sweetie, and we had a great time playing with her and introducing her to new things, like the stereo in the car. She was almost asleep, and when we turned the radio on, she started freaking out trying to find where the noise was coming from. It was hysterical. She also freaked out at the Taco Bell and the sight more squeaky toys than she had ever seen in her life. I don’t know if I have ever seen a more curious dog. She was getting in to everything.







All of this resulted in mom getting overexcited and sending me some ‘It’s a girl!’ balloons attached to a toy for Lily at work – which resulted in everyone thinking I was pregnant. I kept getting congrats all day from customers. Lily liked the toy though – and the balloon. Not long after this pic was taken she mangled them both. You gotta love puppies – isn’t she cute!?
