sweet puppy love...

if i seem distracted lately, it may be due to unbearable cuteness...

yesterday i was informed from a gal at the dog rescue i work with, that they needed some help placing a litter of 10 puppies in foster homes for a few weeks. she also asked if evan and i might be able to take one for a while. well certainly we could! we've fostered before and i've had puppy fever lately so i thought that this might be just the thing to get me over it. i went with another rescue gal, to the house where these pups were currently staying, to give shots, take pictures, and pick up one foster puppy for us. well not 10 minutes after evan met this little baby, (who was originally named precious, but we are calling mirabelle) evan was already saying that maybe we might keep her. we've been thinking for quite some time about getting barkley a little friend, and we've always wanted a pit bull (there needs to be more responsible owners out there to help break their current bad reputation, and educate as to what amazing, loyal, sweet dogs they really are), and it seems that she just may have come into our life at the perfect time. so without further adieu, here is sweet little miss mirabelle...

barkley already loves her to bits...

we took her over to our friends shop (to show her off naturally) and she proceeded to zonk out on the counter...

so it looks like we've got ourselves a new member of the family. let the days of sweet puppy breath, nibbled shoe laces, house training, and lots of snuggles begin!
