I really need to be better about updating my blog! I've been so bad at it. It has been incredibly busy and it seems like life is finally starting to slow down right now. Christmas and my birthday were fun. For my birthday we had dinner up at the Space Needle. I had a buy one get one free entree. It was such an amazing experience. The food and the views were awesome.
For NYE we went to the auction for the NW Burn Foundation. It was such a fun evening. Every year they auction off a yellow lab. This dog was beautiful. I immediately fell in love with the dog. Somehow I talked J into getting the dog. I couldn't believe! It started as a joke but he agreed to taking on another dog. The dog ended up going for $3grand and that was a bit out of our price range. The next day we went looking for a new bed and bedroom furniture. J dropped the bomb on me. The breeder has 2 more dogs and we can have one if we want. I looked at him in disbelief. I told him of course I wanted the puppy but would only get it if he wanted it. On Jan 2 we were headed south with Ash to go pick up the new member of our family, a 12 week old yellow lab we named Wrigley.
It has been quite the experience. Knock on wood, within 2 days he was potty trained. Him & Ash get along great. I can't believe how much energy Ash has now. When we took Wrigley to the vet the vet said she thinks he's going to be 130 pounds. ONE HUNDRED THIRTY POUNDS! Oh wow. Both J & I were shocked. We were thinking 90 pounds max. So we now have the possibility of having a 85 pound Ash and a 130 pound Wrigley. Looks like we will be upgrading the Nissan sooner rather than later haha.
Wrigley is now 14.5 weeks old. He started puppy class on Sunday. He's learning to sit, down, come and look. The class is 12 weeks long and we can't wait to see everything he learns. I can't believe how big he is getting. It seriously makes me sad that he is already growing out of his puppyness. I tell him every night that he needs to grow slower.
