An Early Christmas Present...

Daddy loves his girls so much...

He decided to finally buy them their puppy...  Daddy wanted a protector for his girls, she is a purebred, "blue" Doberman.  She's very sweet, playful, and so far, very smart.  

The girls are in heaven!

 After a few days of deliberation... We named her Willow Bean Stevens
(Other names were Echo, Luna, Xena, Zelda...)

Couldn't wait for us to put the food in a dish, she was STARVING...  Went straight for the baggie

 The first night was a little rough, and I wanted to send her back (I wasn't prepared for the puppy:( )  But the next few nights got better, she loved the kennel, her cat in the hat stuffy, and sleeping in the strangest positions...

Fun with the cousins, everyone loves the puppy
