Yes we got a second dog. We may be crazy. It all started when I was casually perusing facebook and came across a post from the breeder that we got Dallas from. I showed Kevin just because they were cute and he went a bit crazy- showing all the kids and noticing that these puppies had the same birthdate as Dallas and Makenna. So they all felt it was fate and over time they talked me into it. I'd always wanted a bernedoodle with the three colors so I figured this cutie was close enough. On the way to the Thomases for Thanksgiving, we stopped to check out the puppies and of course that pretty much sealed the deal. So a couple weeks later, when our puppy was ready to go, Makenna and I drove the 7 hours there to pick up our new puppy. We spent the night in a sketchy hotel because that's all there really is in Harrisonville Missouri and then left early to get our new puppy and make the long drive home. Here's a bunch of pics...

Gracie has been a huge success. She is so much fun and so very loved. Yes she has been a lot of work and there have been messes to clean up. But overall we just are all so in love with her- it is working out great. Okay- Dallas may have been a bit slow to warm up. She immediately would try to climb all over him and cuddle up with him and he would look at her like she was crazy and then move to the other side of the room. But now they are cuddle buddies and they play like wild and crazy animals. At first when they played we were always nervous Dallas would hurt Gracie- but a few days in we were always more worried about Gracie hurting Dallas. She may be little but she is fiesty! As for her name, we narrowed it down to our two favorites- Gracie and Luna. Gracie won but we are keeping Luna as a middle name Sometimes we call her Gracie Lu ;)
