Puppy Love

When I was little, when my family got a new dog, I’d get all excited when I woke up in the morning and remembered that there was an adorable puppy that was mine to play with as soon as I ran down the stairs. It was like a Christmas-morning feeling that went on for days.

That’s how I feel about Kate, except I start getting excited about when I get to see her again after she’s been asleep for only a few hours.

Eventually my excitement about the family dogs waned. So far that hasn’t been the case with Kate, who turns 9 months old tomorrow.

I’m so happy my family got this baby! Hooray!
