Meet Millie

On Friday we brought home a beautiful, black labrador pup.  I had a dog once when I was a kid, but I must admit my parents did all the work back then.  So I really wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but I'm pretty excited :)  It's a lot of work but I guess I expected it.  She plays for an hour, sleeps for an hour, plays for an hour, sleeps for an hour.  I had puppy duty the first night and I must've been out in the back yard like 6 times throughout the night.  Sometime she'll whine a bit because she wants to know I'm there so I turn on the light so she could see me.  I was a walking zombie the next day.  Too bad they don't give people puppy leave. 

Today we took her out to a park for a walk around the lake.  It was like 1 mile around and we didn't really think she would make it around cuz she seems a bit lazy at home, but the good girl made it!  She even ran in her cute puppy way at times.  Soon she'll be outrunning me! 

Well, I've really been missing traveling these last couple of years but having Millie at home keeps me busy enough to keep my mind from thinking of all the adventurous things I'd rather be doing instead of doing the 9-5 thing.  I am really looking forward to taking her on hikes and runs with me when she gets older.  For now though, I'm just enjoying watching her be cute.
