Haha... yeah, you thought this entry was going to be about babies! It sort of is when this new object of my affection is keeping me up at night with her drinking and eating, whining and crying, peeing and pooping...
On Friday I went to work and brought the Penny Saver with me. The Penny Saver is like a newspaper/magazine ad the comes in the mail, which has tons of local listings like apartment renting, coupons for almost everything, things for sale (stuff, cars, instruments, puppies...). A week ago Jacob and I were talking about his Christmas present for me. I was trying to guess and he pretty much gave it away! So I was super excited because I've been wanting a puppy for a while. We talked about mini pinschers, jack russells, great danes (haha yah right!), shih tzus, corgis, beagles, and labs. He even took me around town to look at puppies just to get an idea of the "variety" that's out there. I fell in love with the chocolate lab we saw at the mall... but it was expensive! And my family has never paid for any of the dogs we've had-- they were either given to us by friends, or rescued dogs.
Anyway, back to the Penny Saver... I saw this ad and nearly died! haha not really. But I freaked out and HAD to circle it and bring it home to Jacob!!!
So the outcome? The next morning (Saturday), Jacob gives the owner a call to check if they still had any puppies left. And they had two! They have the mother and father there as well (both very nice chocolate labs). So the puppies are pure bred. The owner wanted $500. Jacob said, "I'll give you 400". (And this is after the guy learned that Jacob spoke spanish fluently)! So the guy says, "Solamente porque hablas espanol". Which means, "only because you speak spanish...". And in my head I was like, "FREAK YEAH!" haha. So I picked between the two last labs left-- both females. They were named Hope and Joy. Haha I picked Joy! :D (thanks, cousin!). And Jacob and I decided to call her Coco.
So here she is. Our little girl. Coco

Oh my gosh.. so cute. I love labs. I keep telling Josh that we need to get a dog when we move back home.
Oh no you didnt!!! You know what this means right...? yep its an excuse for us to get together and let the puppies play! Although Ellie isnt much of a puppy anymore. Lets do it! Let us know when works good for you, because we go for walks every night from 6-7, so we would always love someone to play with.
