Only Change is Certain

After the loss of one of our dogs in March, I swore to myself that we would stay a one dog house. Our english pointer, named Suzy, is older, kinda lazy, a little boring and perfectly quiet. She does her best to please, is always at my side and doesn't tear up the baby toys or dig in the trash while we're gone. In fact, she's the perfect dog.

But sometimes the house is too quiet and too clean..

I debated for a long time about the decision to add another body to our house. I didn't really want to housebreak a new dog. I didn't know if I could keep my sanity with a baby and a puppy in the house. Most importantly, though, I struggled with the thought of replacing Izzy. In fact, I'm still struggling with that thought. But that's part of life... moving on. Besides the whole dog scenario, my entire life seems to be transitioning.. some things for the good, some for the bad.. and some things are completely uncertain. The uncertainty is what led me to start looking for a new puppy to add to our home. Only change is certain.. and what better way to replace uncertainty than with a house full of craziness and lots and lots of love...

So with that said.. I'd like to introduce you to Bella...
