Emmett



Jeremy and I are finally back in Kansas!! We are very excited to be back for a little while, with our friends and family. Just wanted to update everyone on one of the things we have done since we have been back. I guess us finding a place to live is pretty important, but almost more importantely was getting our puppy!! (Ha, ha). One of dad's teachers at East has a litter of beagle puppies that she is selling for a great price!! So we went out to her house yesterday and we picked our puppy out. It is a male, and his name is Emmett (Jeremy picked that out. I told him he could pick the name, and that I wouldn't say anything. So I am still getting used to that). They are just four weeks old right now, and will be ready to go to homes around the 20th of April. Unfortunately, we won't have moved back yet, and our apartment in Indiana doesn't allow pets, so someone is going to keep him for us for the first month. I wish we could have him for that first month, but that is how it has to be! I am very excited...and Jeremy is getting used to the idea :). He seems like a very mellow puppy, and the owner says that he is the laziest one they have!! So that is what we wanted :). I think I really bonded with him, for the 20 minutes he slept on my chest. Jeremy has never had a dog before, so this will be a new experience for him! These are a few pictures of Emmett, and then one of his whole litter. He is what you call a Blue Tick Beagle, so they have the grey coloring in with the white fur. It makes their coat very soft. They also own the mom and the dad dog, and we got to meet them. I was really impressed with how well mannered they are. They were really sweet dogs, and loved having people around.
We will update on here when we find where we are going to live. There is one house that is very promising right now. We have gone to look at it, and we both really like it, so hopefully there will soon be some pictures up of it also!!

Emmett looks like the perfect replacement for a child. :)

We're so proud, but sorry we missed the birth of our first GrandPuppySon. We'll start working on how you spoil a puppy!

Love you both.

hey pantene..it looks like the puppy's trying to nurse in that one picture..maybe you should let his mother do that..and maybe a real baby is a better idea for you! :) i'm totally joking you know. but seriously the dog is ADORABLE.
