So I have not had the chance to post a lot of pictures of my puppy, it just didn't seem important with everything that has been going on, so I am going to take my opportunity now to celebrate her first year of life.
*Side Note: Callum passed his second swallow study yesterday and they moved his feeding tube up into his stomach so now will be able to work to get it out! He just has to learn to eat enough in the day. Yay!
So first let me tell you the story of how Phoebe became a part of our family.
My family always had a dog, and I therefore I wanted to have my own dog when I got married.
Well Brigham was against it from the beginning. He likes dogs, but he did not want one, unless, of course, it was a giant one.
I kept asking and asking to no avail.
We would go visit the puppies a the pet store so I could get my puppy fix, but it just made me want one more.
So finally after we had been married for almost 3 years Brigham went to San Francisco to see his brother James. While he was there I went to pet the puppies at the puppy store and I found a really sweet little Maltese puppy and I wanted her so bad!
So I took a picture of her and sent it to Brigham and asked if I could have her...
To my surprise! He said yes! I was so excited I couldn't believe it!
He just said that I had to ask our land lady to see if we could have a dog and if she said yes then all was good.
Brigham was banking on her saying no... she said yes!
Now, the puppy at the puppy store was really expensive, so my mom did some shopping and found a breeder in Riverton who had some Maltese puppies for sale for a lot cheaper, so I agreed to see them.
Well we met with the Breeder and they brought Phoebe with them for us to see, and I fell instantly in love! More so than the one in the store. I knew she was mine :)
So I brought her home and I was so happy!
She then came with me to the airport when I went to pick up Brigham and his dad, and even though he denied it, I could tell he liked her. She was such a cute little puppy!
And to reinfoce that point, when we got home I went into the bathroom and I heard Brigham giggling... I went to look and he was rolling around on the floor playing with her! It was so cute!
And so began our little family
P.S. It was only one month later that I found out I was pregnant, so if Phoebe had not come along when she did, I am pretty sure I would have never gotten a dog
This is the day after she came home with me, she is so cute!
This is Brigham's golf bag he took to San Francisco with him... Phoebe liked to chew on the tags
Tired puppy
Her little cave
Brigham secretly adores her, but he will never admit it out loud
Utah Puppy!
I love it when she snuggles with me
Good way to travel
She does not like baths... poor dog, she looks like a drowned rat
She loved to play in this box, it was so funny
She sleeps in the strangest positions
She also will sleep anywhere she falls down
So my mom bought this little purse for her dog but she wouldn't play with it, and she really wanted a picture of her holding it like a purse... this is the best I could do. I think I have some better ones, but I couldn't find them
This is after her first haircut; Brigham thought she looked stupid, but I think she is cute
On the ride home from Bear Lake
She likes to crawl under the couch and sleep, but sometimes she only sticks her head under
She stares at the door waiting for Brigham to come home
I love you bug! Happy Birthday my sweet puppy :)
