Meet Mattie

This morning we picked up our new puppy Mattie. Anyone who knows me well will know this was a very happy day for me. I'll let the pictures tell the story:

At the breeder's house picking up Mattie.

Me trying to keep Ben from crushing the poor little thing.

Keely may be smiling but Ben is in the background throwing a tantrum because I won't let him squeeze the life out of her.

What makes Keely happy in the car? Holding her new puppy all the way home.

What makes Ben happy in the car? Eating his sister's leftovers after already consuming his own lunch!

Mattie with her biggest fan Keely. Can you tell what Keely did all day?

Mattie's other fan Shawn. He may not admit it out loud but he's already fallen in love.

Good night Mattie!

She is so cute! I could deal with that, and I really like the name that you chose. I love all the pictures, but my favorite is of Ben and his REALLY happy face with his food. He looks so much older with his haircut. Can't wait to meet Mattie!

What a darling puppy. I am sure Ryli will be having Milli withdrawls (my parents little dog) so we may have to come by for a little visit.

Is she a shitzu? Oh she is so cute! My husband wouldn't admit to loving our lap dog for a long time. He used to threaten that he was going to kick it every time he walked by. He never did, he fell in love!

What a cute little puppy! Is that the same kind of dog you grew up with? She looks familiar. Have so much fun. You are a much nicer mom than me!

What fun pictures and such a cute little dog! I'm sure she won't be hurting for any attention!

Autumn said...

I am beyond excited!! Yay...I have been waiting for Keely to get her puppy! She looks so much like my Emmy when she was a puppy! What kind of dog is it? ...good luck keeping Ben from squishing her! :)

She's a Maltapoo. Since Lisa isn't answering anyone I will. I just got to meet her in person and she's adorable.

Jana said...

Is Debbie there already? Lucky sisters. And I do have to admit, she is a WAY cute dog.

Delsa said...

She's won my heart from here. Okay, I will babysit for her. She can even come to my house.

Jess said...

My kids would be jealous. Our neighbor downstairs had a dog but they just moved out. Clark asked them where they got their dog then asked me if we could get one, too! They are cute, aren't they?

Tanya said...

Ohhhh my, you got a dog! She's so cute though, and I see why you can't help but love her. Maybe someday for me....
