New Puppy

Friday after new years, we went to the pet store in Washington only to buy a new hampster cage. We seen the cutest long hair chihauhau puppies in there and Trinity just had to hold one. No big deal, right. Wrong!! She immediately started crying to take one home. We already have a dog and a cat so this was NOT in our plans. We left the pet store and made it down the road a little ways and John and I talked ourselves into going back to get the puppy. OK, whatever. So we gave in! Who can't resist a really cute puppy that at 12 weeks old can still fit in the palm of your hand!! Anyway, tonight we got home from Wal-Mart and I went to feed the hampster and can you believe the thing DIED! One week. That's it. We bought a new hampster cage and a puppy for the hampster to only live ONE WEEK. That's how my luck goes. Anyway, we had to give the dog a fairytale name so his name is Prince Charming, AKA Prince. On the second day of having the puppy the he was biting Trin like all puppies do and she said "If I knew this is what having a puppy was like, I wouldn't have wanted one"! She has since found out that having a puppy is not all fun and games.






Anyway on a completely different note. Tomorrow is my brother Jon's 26th b-day. Happy birthday! He is still in NC but got promoted to corporal on Monday. I talked to him this morning and he was still pretty excited about his promotion.
