Her first puppy love.

This weekend was the best weekend ever because we got to puppy sit for our pastor's family dog, Teddy. Despite the fact that Eva literally tried to puppy sit (as in sit on Teddy), we think Teddy liked us too. I have been missing having a dog sooooo much over the past year since Cosby died. I seriously have to remind myself that this is not the right time in our life for a dog every time we play with a friend's dog or get to pet a puppy at the park. I absolutely love sweet, friendly dogs and look forward to the day, many years from now when we are all done having babies, when we get to surprise our kids and tell them that it is the day when we are getting a dog. That will probably be the best day ever.


So for now I will enjoy getting to be a pet sitter. At first we were thinking that Teddy might not be allowed to come play at our house because we don't have a pet lease and when we signed our lease the office was very clear that they did not want us sneaking a dog in. We decided to do the honest thing and actually ask the lady in our office if we could bring Teddy over for a few hours at a time while his family was gone. She really likes the other family and us as well so she agreed that would be okay, especially since we could keep him on the tile floors. Hooray!!!! Every time that Ryan and I would walk down to get Teddy from his home Eva would just stand by the door waiting and squealing with anticipation. She didn't want to play or eat or do anything until Teddy arrived. When he would have to go back home she would stand by the door saying "BYE! BYE! BYE!" for a couple of minutes. Cuteness.



Teddy was such a fun companion and Eva was so in love with him. She would chase him around and pet him and get down on her knees to crawl after him like she was a puppy too. She also kept trying to kiss him. Yuck! I'm a dog lover but I draw the line at letting a dog's mouth touch mine. Oh, and you can't really tell but her pink shirt has a fluffy poodle type dog on it so she wore it on Saturday in honor of Teddy.

We are going to be at my parents' this coming weekend and I am excited for Eva to get to play with their dogs too. I'm glad she takes after me and loves dogs. Sorry, Ryan. We are definitely getting a dog one day.
