(dis)Aster

We got a puppy!

Zac and I have been wanting a dog ... for pretty much forever. We made ourselves wait until we had the house with the backyard. But now that we're fairly settled in, we couldn't help but start looking. And well, you know how that goes ... you look and then you fall in love. We originally went to the Akron humane society and met a few dogs, but they were all fully grown and set in their ways. Plus, we really didn't want to miss out on the cute puppy phase, even though that comes with all the other not-so-cute puppy-isms.

He's a cocker spaniel / cavalier king charles spaniel aka black fuzzy furball. Zac came up with his name as we were playing with him at the store, "We could call him Aster, short for (dis)Aster, cause he's a puppy!"

Congrats!!! Dogs are so much fun, even if they are a lot of work. We'll have to have a puppy play date soon! :)

Oh my goodness! Congrats! The puppy stage is so much fun (except the housebreaking). Enjoy.

Aster is so cute. I'm glad you got a dog for our kids so now we won't have to. ;-)
