In church a neighbor came up to me and said that her nephew bought a yellow lab puppy and has had it a week but his mom wouldn't let him keep it. She said that we would be the perfect home for this puppy. She has a 10 year old lab that looks just like Bailey that they boys love. So she knows that we love yellow labs. I told her that I wanted new carpet and not a puppy. After church, she sent me pictures of the dog and then came over that night so we could "just see the puppy." Who can resist a puppy? We instantly fell in love with her. She's eight weeks old and is so tiny. We played with her for a couple of hours and decided that we should adopt her. At first I had some reservations because she's more yellow than Bailey but Matt made the point that it's good not to compare her to Bailey. We're not replacing Bailey, this puppy is a different dog. She came with the name Sophie so we decided to keep it because I couldn't think of anything else. She has a scratch just below her right eye so Shantelle thought we should name her Scarlet. That's her middle name. She's a very vivacious puppy! We called our families to tell them the good news and everyone was very excited. Maddy and Julie screamed in the phone and can't wait to come down and see her.
