Meet Joy, the Maltese puppy.
In this picture she is only 2.5 weeks old. She's older now, but this is the most recent picture we have of her.
She will be coming to live with us on Christmas Eve...
As a surprise gift to The Girl.
I am so excited about this new addition to the family that I have had trouble sleeping at night. Which is just as well since I will probably be spending the next 6 months getting up to take her outside in the middle of the cold Carolina nights.
Last night, my friend K2 and I, went Christmas shopping to find all the assorted puppy items that one needs: a crate, puppy toys, dog dishes, puppy shampoo, a collar and a leash.
I was on an all-out hunt for a pink collar and leash.
More ashamedly, a pink collar and leash that I plan to tastefully bedazzle with some beautiful rhinestones.
Yes, I own a Bedazzler.
I am also in the process of sewing up a puppy bed, and matching little girl/doggy capes. Pictures to come.
Y'all, I may have lost my mind.
But it's sure is fun!
