Logic can't be applied to some decisions. Like bringing a new dog home. But we do it anyway.
Penny came home with me after a somewhat random stop at the Humane Society last week. We've been talking about getting a "little dog" and she fits the bill at three whole pounds. The picture is a crazy blur taken with the MacBook within minutes of the kids meeting her.
Her cuteness cannot be put into words...letters maybe...like ooxxooXoXXx.

What a cute puppy. She's a keeper.
After I read this post, I clicked on the picture of the dogwood tree. Wow, the previous owner of your house married for the first time at eighty? This proves that a new beginning can start at any time of your life. What a romantic story. Enjoy your new beginning with your puppy.

What a sweet litle puppy! You're lucky to have her, and she's lucky to have a new home. :)

Cute, cute , cute. I hope Penny and your family live happily ever after.

Congrats!! She is adorable.
Its perfectly logically by the way - those 3 pounds will bring you years of love and enjoyment (and poop and fur on your clothes, but ignore that part).

Penny is just adorable. I hope we get to see more of her in the future, pets add a nice quality to a blog.

Yay for you! Our Humane Society is at overflowing capacity right now with all the pets given up by people who can no longer afford them. Heartbreaking. Our last 2 pets came from there. Your little puppers is adorable. I can't wait to see more.
