Prepare to say, "Awwww!"

Meet Stewart Lewis Martin:

"Stewy" is our new Yorkshire Terrier/Poodle (aka Yorkipoo) puppy! He's 8 weeks old and soooo tiny!

We've been looking into getting a puppy for a few weeks now and saw Stewy yesterday and fell in love! We've been doing research online about what kind of dog would be right for our home. Unfortunately, the breeds that kept coming up were SO expensive!!! We found someone selling the breed of puppy we really wanted here in Southaven for $1200! And they were the cheapest ones!!! We saw some advertised for $3000! How can people feel good about that?! So we decided to go with our gut. Dave is great with animals (he even helped deliver my Mom's dog, Molly) And he said Stewy was the one. Even full grown he won't be very big. He's expected to be about 5-7 lbs as an adult. Sohpie Cat has just decided to keep her distance and according to Dave, "gives him the stink-eye!"

So far, he's very quiet and sleepy and cries when you leave him alone... much like a new baby!

Caroline, of course, LOVES Stewy. We're hoping that by getting him so young, he'll just kind of get used to her "love" and love her back! Already he follows her and climbs in her lap when she's sitting on the floor! She talks baby-talk to him and it's so cute!

I'm really looking forward to having a dog right now. Caroline's getting older and doesn't seem to need Mommy's help as much, so I'm ok with taking on a new responsibility!

Last night he cried a little bit and Dave, the softie that he is, brought him into bed! So Dave is very happy to have him too!
