Our New Family Member

Last week Dawn was in town and she brought her new addition-- Shorty. Shorty is a tiny little 5 month old chihuahua. She was so cute and I fell in love with her. While Dawn was here she traded in her F-450 for a new one, but since she had her camper on the back she needed to ship her tailgate to the dealership somehow. Saturday afternoon we get a call asking us if we could pick it up at the airport and deliver it to the dealership in Branson since it was going to cost an arm and a leg to get it all the way to Branson. We decided to make a day of it and we went to the Magic House Children's Museum and then to the mall before we had to get to the airport at 5:30 for its arrival. So the kids and I waited in the car and watched a movie while we waited for Josh to come back. All of a sudden I look out the window and here comes Josh with a pet carrier and holding a tiny little chihuahua. I was completely surprised and fell for the whole story. She's a 9 week old chihuahua and she weighs 2.5 lbs. We have named her Lilly. She came from Happy Farm Kennel in Texas. She's like having a tiny baby in the house again. I kept her in the kennel last night and she cried when she wanted to go outside. The only accident she had was when I went to petco to get some supplies for her and it was in her kennel. I don't think Josh heard her crying in the other room.
