Last Christmas, all Sierra wanted was a puppy from Santa but since we were renting, we couldn't get one. Sierra remembered that Santa left a note last year promising to bring her a puppy once she was home. Santa made good on his promise and brought an adorable 6 week old Golden Retriever puppy.
After some research on breeds good with children - several e-mails to breeders and finally a twist of luck of an ad placed in our local paper - Mia Belle (my beauty) was delivered on Christmas morn. It was very cool because Jeff and I had told the kids all along that we don't want a puppy. She's a great addition to the family and is well on her way to being puppy potty trained. I wondered how we'd have the time and energy for another responsibility in the house but it's like having your second baby - you don't know how you could possibly love another child as much as the first - but instead of your love dividing - it multiplies.
Mia at 4 weeks with her sister - she has the darker red coat.
