Puppy Love

Is it ok for us to be so worried about how Tallie and Tucker are going to feel when Katelyn finally arrives? It's hard to imagine that we could love something more than we love our little angel dogs!! They have been our children for the last 3-and-a-half years and have taught us so much about responsibility, unconditional love, and, above all else, patience!! They have, in their own little way, prepared us for parenthood!...and Katelyn thanks them :)

Tallie hoping she can come with us!

When we first got Tucker, we were so worried about Tallie and her little feelings and we honestly thought we couldn't possibly love anything as much as we loved her. But, she finally came around to the idea of having a brother (after about a week of ignoring him) and she is just fine! In fact, they are best buds now and we can't imagine our lives without either one of them.

Tucker when he was just a pup!

Best buds!

The babies desperately needing haircuts!

Fro-man!

Our hearts are strong and they grew with us and they are full of love for both of our dogs. If we can love our dogs this much, can you imagine the ever-growing love for Katelyn?!! It's going to be awesome! For the time-being though, it's so hard to look into the pups' little brown eyes and think that they are going to be second priority...it kind of makes us sad to think of it that way. But, they will be fine and adjust and when Katelyn starts eating solid food, they too will become best buds!

Waiting for us to come to bed!

Playing with all their friends!

Mommy and her little fluffballs!

Checkin' out the new crib :)

How cute!!! I especially love the pic of them with their little Christmas Jester collars on. I'm sure those sweet pups will be very understanding. And happy to have a playmate a little closer to their size.

I think the problem will be when you try to throw those angels out of the family bed when Katelyn arrives...you ARE going to throw them out, aren't you???? Need I remind you of my experience with Cricket? UGH... ICK... HUCK... GAG...SPIT!! :) Momma
