Meet Khloe!

I can't believe it either....yes....Erik bought me a puppy! About 2 weeks ago, Erik came home one night and surprised me with an 8 week old Shorkie (shih-tzu / yorkie mix). I had no idea he was going to buy me a dog. Since we've been married I've talked about wanting a little puppy but I hadn't really mentioned anything about it recently. I guess I just realized that it would probably never happen.

Erik walked in the living room and I was laying on the couch watching TV. He put her down by my legs but I didn't notice. All of the sudden I felt something move so I looked over. I saw her little head poke out. I looked up at Erik and said, "is she mine?" He said yes and I started to cry. In case you didn't know, Erik has always been extremely against having a dog. I don't know what changed his mind, but I am so happy he did.

Erik's friend, Andrew, bought his wife (Jessica) Khloe's sister a day or two before Erik bought ours. It's so cute when they play together. We walk in a room, Khloe and Zoey smell each other, give kisses (lick their faces) and then pounce on each other. They can play for hours! I'm really happy that Khloe will be able to still know her sister.

Within a couple of days, we took Khloe over to both of our parents house. They were just as surprised as I was. Baylee, my parents dog and Muji, Erik's parents cat, were both scared of her and really expressed no interest in the new member of our family. It's okay, because I know they'll be friends eventually.

We've been working on potty-training our little girl and it's a lot of hard work. She certainly is good practice for a baby. Erik and I get up 2 or 3 times a night when she wimpers and take her into the kitchen to go to the bathroom on her pee pad. Eventually, we hope to have her litter-box trained since she will only grow to be about 5-8 pounds.

Khloe is such a joy to come home to after a long day at work. Thank you so much Honey! You are the best husband ever. We hope you enjoy the pictures of our new addition. She's such a cute little pup.
