D - Sweet Sugar

Meet Sugar - the new baby.



Cute, huh?

This kid BEGGED for a puppy for a year straight, and we finally gave in to him.



Katie likes her too, but has a short attention span.



We've had Sugar for 2 whole weeks, and it has not been easy, but I'm not going to complain about that anymore. The blog that I have been planning on writing where I vent about how hard it is having a puppy in the house is now completely scrapped. You're not gonna hear it from me.

Why the change of heart, you ask? Katie and I took Sugar to the vet this morning for her shots, and she had a severe allergic reaction to it. She went into anaphylactic shock, and very nearly died. It was so scary. The vet literally grabbed her up off the exam table and ran her down the hall to get her on iv fluids and treat her. I just sat there stunned and cried over how I was going to tell Noah and how awful it was going to be to head home and pick up all of her stuff for the last time. Who knew I even cared!?! Anyhow, she made it through. She got to stay the day with the vet, but we have her back home with us now.

So........... I gotta know........ What did you people pray for last night at church??? I know Laura put my sanity up as a prayer request, so you guys must be good. This incident has given me a complete change of heart!

Aww, poor puppy! I keep saying I can't wait until our beagle "bucket" actually kicks the bucket, but I know I would be super sad if something were to really happen to him! Glad everything is okay!

I never would have thought you would become so attached to a puppy! I'm glad she is okay! I'm w/ Chrissey! I keep hoping our dogs will kick off so I can play in the backyard w/out stepping in poop! Selfish, I know!
