introducing....tilley

jonathan and i have always thought itd be a great idea to get a puppy after we got married.  jonathan is a farmer and therefore works long nights all spring/summer/fall/winter - yes, all seasons.  and im not one to stay at home by myself.  and besides, what's cuter than a pup.

so after we got married i wanted to start looking.  i knew i wanted a boxer.  ive got several friends with boxers that ive been around that are so loving, nonshedding, and good with kids.  so thats what i wanted.  and jonathan wants what i want..well most times :)

so i contacted 400 breeders in nc who had pups right now and narrowed it down to one in mt olive.  sweet girl selling them and there were only two left.  i talked to my vet friends and asked what we should be looking for.

then wednesday we headed off to mount olive.  there was one little boy and one little girl.  we were interested in the girl before we went because we were told she'd be smaller and slightly less active.  i also knew i wanted an all brown with a black face.

when we got there the two runts were running around.  well actually the boy was running and tackling the girl and the little girl just hopped right to us.  after seeing the two run around and seeing the sweet girl come and sit on our feet for rests, we decided she was the one for us.  we signed the papers, put her in a box, and headed home.  she slept the whole way.  

so we have a new pup. she has been a delight so far.  she eats, poops, pees, and sleeps times 100.  she is precious. she cries when we leave.  shes really a great pup so far.

and her name.  all i have to say is when we have children we better decide before the doctor.  because if not we'll weigh 300 names and get really excited about one and then back off.  but we've decided on one for our pup, and we're stoked about it.  and we're sticking with it.

her name is tilley.  she looks like a tilley.  she acts like a tilley.  so tilley it is.  ill post pictures later - for now check out my facebook:)
