Yesterday my dear sweet husband surprised the kids and I with "an early Christmas present", like I couldn't see this one coming. We are now the proud parents of a 6 week old Dachtsund/Lab mix puppy that after much deliberation have named Harley (he's low to the ground and makes a LOT of noise). Of course the kids love him, Ginger is happy to have a playmate to drag around and I have something else to take care of. He is pretty cute...... See the excited look on my face? That is one that won't be getting any sleep for at least a week.
