My New Puppy!

Welcome Clara!

On March 20, 2013, this little pups was brought into my life! My Santa Clara cheerleaders decided to surprise me and give me this cute little puppy as a gift... boy was I shocked!!!

Here is the picture of them giving her to me, little did they know I was leaving for Hawaii one day later:

Because Kyle and I were leaving on Saturday, we decided it would be best for Clara to stay with her mommy for one more week. We were able to snap a few cute pictures before we had to give her back...


We got home from Hawaii on Saturday night, late, around 10pm. We unpacked, did the laundry, woke up early on Sunday, cleaned the house, and then went to meet Alejandra to pick up the little stinker. Easter was a big day, Clara got her new name and a TON of shots!! She was excited for us to hold her and snuggle with her. She would bark when we would put her down! She is such a good cuddle bug :)


Of course she did NOT want to sleep in her bed or her crate, the towel was good enough so she could be close to us while we were cooking dinner.

Clara already finding love with the old Barbie towel and her favorite lovie toy, lamby!

Kyle has always said that he doesn't want a small dog...I think Clara has won his heart. He now loves her so much!!


Look how cute the two of them are on the bed!

Clara's favorite spot to get rubbed is her belly! I think she sleeps on her back so she is ready just in case we want to reach over and rub her belly a little bit.


Clara's first bath! (With us!)
She is so furry and fluffy that when she is wet, you can really tell that she is only 3 pounds. She looks like such a little rat. She loved getting bundled up though, once the bath was over!




Clara's just so cute! My phone is full of random shots:



(This one is my favorite! She just looks like a little stuffed animal!)


My poor little sick girl is sleeping and couldn't get warm. She liked being covered with the blanket.


Oh...but...sleeping on the SIDE of the bed is way better than IN the bed...


Here is Clara hard at work!



After a long day at the office, all she wanted to do was sleep in between the cords under my cube! She was probably hiding from her new boyfriend, Riley!


We are so excited to have Clara in our lives and we can't wait to see her grow up! She is getting more comfortable with her surroundings every day and hopefully we can start teaching her a few tricks here soon. She is very smart and it makes me happy to see her potty trained and learning to walk well on her leash! I'm sure everything will feel better and more comfortable with time.
