New addition to the family!!

So, lately I have been thinking...okay rather obsessively...that it was time to get a dog. We had been missing our cat Mia for sometime and as the kids are getting older, I thought a dog would make a nice addition. Last summer some friends of ours got a dog I had never heard of before. It was a cockapoo. A cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. Well, that was it! I was in love! The past few months I had been looking online at different cockapoos and found myself checking more and more often. I called up my friend Julie on Wednesday for some advice on taking the step into pet ownership. She also understands my occational obsessive behavior :) She recommended checking out Craigs list for used crates and things that people give away all the time. I went on to research that and low and behold found an ad for a cockapoo in Pembroke! I was SO excited I emailed right away! Yesturday we (the kids and I) went to meet Clara and Motley. We loved them both but Clara stole our hearts and we literally went home with her.

I decided I could not leave her there! She is 1.5 years old and already house/crate trained. She is up to date on her shots and is such a wonderful laid back dog! We had her groomed yesturday and her hair trimmed. She has these huge eyes that we didn't notice until her bangs were cut!

She seems to enjoy following me EVERYWHERE! As I type this she is laying by my feet!:) The kids are adoring her and wishing she would chase balls more but keep saying to me..."Mom I think Clara is the best choice"

We are very happy to have her in our lives!
