Memorable Moment #2: Our First Dog

These moments aren't in any kind of order of importance...haha. And, yes I am about to blog about our dog...cause she's that important :)
We have offically become some of those "crazy dog people." Even when I was a little girl, I always wanted an inside dog. A year after we were married I brought home a little Maltipoo. My cousin Cassie raised these dogs and this was the last litter. I had to have one. Claire was born on December 10, 2006.
Our favorite show is LOST (more on that later), so we had to give her a name from the show. After we named her Hurley cause we thought she was a boy.... we found out she was a girl so Claire it was. Now we like to call her Claire Bear or Clairice. ha
Really and truly, she brings a lot of laughter and fun into our house. She is the best dog we could ask for. It is weird to us that she will one day know our kids, but for now we will baby her. I don't know if we made her the way she is, but Nate and I both think she was just born a little.... uh.... spoiled.
She won't walk on cold tile unless she absolutely has to.... Likes to have her coat in the winter.... Always has to be close to one of us.... Sleeps under the covers.... Tells us when she wants a chew stick.... And, will let you hold her like a baby until you put her down.
She has never been too hyper, and doesn't like other dogs that are. She loves meeting new people. All in all, we love her. She always brings a smile to our faces, and we are very thankful for our 3 year old puppy. We could all learn a thing or two about loyalty from these cute little furry friends.

  1. i think she is very lucky to have you as parents, i am glad she went to a great home. i think there are only 3 of that litter still alive. Bula May is granny meyers dog from that litter, and she is so much like baysie, i cannot stand it. she acts just like her. maybe someday those 2 sisters can reconnect.
