Breaking News...Meet Daphne

Hey y'all, we interrupt this stamping blog with some breaking news...we did a thing yesterday.


We drove out to the Humane Society in Pueblo to look at doggos yesterday and yep, we came home with one : )  I wanted to look at several black dogs (I have read that black dogs usually have the hardest time getting adopted) but no fewer than FOUR of them got adopted while we were there so we didn't even get to meet them!  So our little girl isn't black, except for some eyeliner and her tail really.  Her shelter name was Bella, but she doesn't respond to it, so we have renamed her DAPHNE.  Poor baby was pretty shy and scared in the shelter and then we immediately took her to Petsmart, but we had to get All The Things like a new bed, collar, tag, leash, harness, treats, food, and of course toys.


She was not a fan of riding in the truck and it took us an hour to get her home.


Then she got to explore her new yard...


And try out for the soccer team...


She actually does kick the ball sometimes, and sometimes she kinda somersaults over it : )  After she got some wiggles out and finally tinkled, we brought her inside.


She was not at all sure about going up the stairs and when we finally got her to the top, I betrayed her by giving her a BAFF!  But she needed it, she was pretty stinky.


And here she is getting a brush down from the hubs and Spider-Kid.  I wanted to get her a collar that was either green or purple (our previous two doggos, Sadie and Vader, had red and blue so I didn't want those colors) but the one we got is kinda teal and she looks a bit like Scooby-Doo.  I'm okay with that though.  Her name is Scooby-adjacent, after all ; )

We just put her in her kennel (that she inherited from Sadie) so I'm going to drop Ryan off at school and then go to the store and get a couple more things for our newest family member.  Cheers!

P.S. We also got another dusting of snow last night : )
