life with crosby

Well I haven't had a chance for many posts in the last month... and this cutie pie is a big reason why. Crosby has been keeping us very busy for the last month... actually, I can't believe it has only been a month that he has been home with us! I feel like he has been a part of our little family for much longer.

He is growing SO fast. When we brought him home on June 26th, he was around 12 pounds. By the time he had his first vet appointment just 5 days later, he weighed 14 pounds. And now, another three weeks later, he's up to 23 pounds! Looking back at these pictures from only a few weeks ago really makes me realize how fast our little pup is growing up! I won't be carrying him around for long.

Here's Crosby on his way home from us picking him up. He did great on the 3-hour ride home, except for getting car sick in the first 15 minutes.

He's always standing so proper, even at 9 weeks old. We've caught him pointing in the backyard a ton of times... at the obvious, birds, and also squirrels, chipmunks, and even spiders! haha

Our puppy!

We drove to northern Indiana two Sundays ago to pick out our new family member... Crosby! We got this picture from our breeder when the puppies were a few weeks old, but we weren't sure which puppy we wanted at the time.

So we decided to spend 6 hours in the car and pick out the pup for us by meeting them all in person. Even though being in the car that long is not the most fun, it was a great birthday present just to meet our puppy.

We were greeted by these six cutie-pies. Two of the puppies are girls, and we had already planned to get a boy, so the breeder got out the four boys for us to play with. After some careful consideration, and some kisses and heavy tail-wagging by one specific pup, we knew which boy was the one for us. We're bringing him home this Sunday. I can't wait!! 

we're getting a puppy!

We can't wait to bring a puppy home to our house! We've got a little over 3 months to wait... the puppies will be born in the middle of April and then we have to wait until he is 8 weeks old to bring him home.

We're getting a German Shorthaired Pointer. Here's a pic of the sire, or dad.

We've got some names picked out, but haven't decided 100%. Anyway, I am SOO EXCITED!!!

More to come later!
