our little additions.....

Well, the day finally came for us to add to our family. On Friday, April 10th we picked up Sugar, our beautiful black lab puppy from Quenton's aunt and uncle in Hillspring. Is she ever a cutie!! She has a white blaze on her chest and some white tips on her paws. When we got her to mom and dad Whites' house, we set her up with a bed and a little play area. Of course, we took her outside for walks, which she would just walk with us, or run, as long as she was near us she was happy. She is such a smart little puppy! We really do love her a lot. Q's aunt and uncle (Maureen and Darcy) had asked us if we wanted to take another puppy or two (from a litter of 11) back to the city to sell. We decided to take one more, a boy, thinking that it wouldn't be difficult to sell him here. We picked him up Sunday night on our way home to Edmonton. At first we didn't want to name him, in case his new owners wanted to pick that out, but we quickly got tired of calling him "the other dog". His name is Buddy, and by Monday night we decided that he and Sugar were pretty close, and we didn't want to separate them. It didn't help that we both had become quite attatched to him as well. :) They're both so different. :) Sugar thinks that she's the boss, and always wants to play, even when Buddy wants a break! He's pretty laid back, and is so good at listening. Quenton said that he can see how Buddy's a little like him, and Sugar is more like me. I think he's right! When we got married, we had said that we'd end up with two dogs eventually, and since we haven't started our family just yet, now is a good time to train our puppies and have them ready for other additions to the family. I am so happy to have these little ones as a part of our family. Sugar and Buddy will always have a good home. I can't wait to see them grow and develope their personalities! We'll be taking pictures of them as the grow so you can see how great they are!
