NERO!

We got a puppy! yayyyy....

I hate to be negative, but... He's driving me CRAZY. It's like we adopted a 2-year old child with no discipline.
I've never had a dog before except when I was little. They were all big outdoor dogs and I had no part in their upbringing. So this is VERY new and stressful for me. :(

OK so here's the story.
Keith has been wanting a dog ever since we moved here. He missed his family's dog, Brutus (Brutus is a really awesome dog. I love that dog). I had been telling him that we should wait until we had a house before we got a dog so that it could play in a yard and go to the bathroom easily outside. Makes sense, right? I thought so.
I gave in though. I don't know what changed my mind. I guess I was up for the challenge. Our upstairs neighbors have 2 dogs, so I thought if they could do it, so could we (I still need to talk to them for tips).

Keith wanted a full-bred miniature pinscher (like Brutus). I wanted to rescue a puppy from the pound. We looked at the pound puppies and they only had big breeds available. And I'm all for rescuing full grown dogs, but I'm afraid that it would eat Nooni. haha SO we started looking online for a good deal on Min Pins. I found an ad on craigslist.com for our little guy and we went to get him the next day.

So far it's been really overwhelming for me. We've had him for 2 days now and I've spent the most time with him. He's SO cute, but such a pain in the butt. We bought a baby gate to put in the kitchen so while we're gone he's confined to a small space. He still manages to make the biggest mess possible. And since I get home from work first, I get to clean it. Hooray.

NOW, despite the bad things, I do love him. He is such a sweetheart and when I'm mad, I can't stay mad because of his cute little face. I love how he loves to cuddle and sleep on me like a baby. He makes cute little squeeky sounds when he sleeps. SO cute. It makes me forget about what a bad little puppy he is. lol
