I was going to wait until it's official in January...

BUT I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Yesterday, my sweet hubs brought me (through a blizzard) to pick out my Christmas present!

Meet... Stella.
I tried to fade out my big Mardi Gras head next to her.
((giggle))

As soon as I picked her up, I knew she was the one! I'm totally smitten!!

She is only a wee 4 weeks old, so we have to wait until January to bring her home.

YaY for puppy breath!!!!

I asked her if she wanted to come live in the country with us and have an awesome doggy life.

She said, "Yes."

She then mentioned something about wanting to have her own blog. Sigh.
I told her we'll have to wait and see.

Many of you know how heavy my heart has been since we had to say goodbye to my precious Darla. I've had a tremendous void after her passing. There is something so very special about the Boston Terrier breed. If you have one, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I just hope Gracie will welcome her new baby sister with open paws and be a fantastic big sister like Darla was to her.

I am ready to move on. It feels right.
I know Darla approves.

Wishing everyone a joyous, blessed Christmas!!!

    Stella is a sweetheart and will have a wonderful home just as Darla did! Now, if Stella wants her own blog, can we really say no? ;-) Have a very Merry Christmas!

    HOORAY!!! How wonderful!! Merry, merry Christmas! Of course if Stella gets a blog, Gracie will have to put in her two paws worth of comments as well. Could be a challenge...
    Congrats again. I am thrilled for you!

    Thanks everyone!! I am beside myself with excitement!
    I told my hubs if we ever got another Boston, I wanted to name her Stella. It fits her too. :> )
    Jeepers, I really need to puppy proof our house. Otherwise she is going to have a field day around here!
    The hardest part will be waiting out these next four weeks. Ugh. But the breeder said she'll send us weekly photos of her until will pick her up. ♥
    Thanks again, everyone!!
