...And his name shall be Skofeild

Last night my husband and I drove all the way to Westpoint to see a litter of puppies. We have been planning to purchase a dog for a while now so we found an add on KSL. I’d opt for a baby any day over a puppy but I’m learning to compromise. My husband says that I wouldn’t pay any attention to him if we had a baby…that just might be partially true based on how much I pay attention to him when were visiting with our niece and nephews.
After what seemed like we drove in circles for hours, we found the house. My husband
is so funny; he was literally jumping up and down in excitement. His voice changes when he sees puppies, he talks in a kiddie voice. The seller asked us if it the puppy was going to be our “first family dog” then she compared it to being our “baby”. I’m still getting used to the whole idea of the dog being an actual part of our family so her comment kind of left me with an awkward feeling. In my family we never had animals in our house let alone in a bed! Derek gave me a prep talk about what the expectations of the puppy will be, he even made the sound effects of what it will sound like if we don’t give it enough attention. I warned him and said “the moment you pay more attention to the dog than me, he’s out!” I know it’s harsh, but I didn’t grow up with pets. I have survival stories as a missionary having to run away from dogs (…and those memories are still vivid in my mind.)
We put a deposit down and we will be bringing our puppy home on Monday! We’ve named our puppy Skofeild after the character Micheal Schofeild from the series on Prisonbreak, explanation of the reasoning behind it is another post in itself.

Below is a pic from the KSL add, we will be purchasing the dark brown male in the back row!
