Introducing... Lotti!

Phil and I didn't tell the boys where we were going this morning when we left the house. They actually thought we were going to Starved Rock.

So when we showed up at some strangers house in Rockford, they were very surprised to hear that we were there to pick up a puppy!

While we were there, we looked at all of the puppies. Watched how they interacted. Pet all of them. And then it happened. There was one that I was a standout, so we took her out of the crate and let everybody hold her. 

We put her back in the crate and she jumped and jumped wanting us to pick her up again. 

That's how we knew she was the one. 

We paid for her, got all of the papers and some food, and put her in the crate in the car. 

Since we didn't even know if we would get a male or female, we had no name selected. So we wrote down names on a sheet of paper - Lilly, Pepper, Bella, Jasmine, Lotti, Jade, and a few others. We all voted to get the majority of the names and narrowed it down to Pepper and Lotti. We did a silent vote by passing around pieces of paper to circle the name of their choice.  Pepper had 1 vote and Lotti had 5 votes.  

The boys have been glued to her ever since we got home. "Can I take her for a walk?"  "Can I take her outside?"  "I want to play with her!"  

She loves all of the boys and all of the boys love her... 💞💞
