Newest Little Roach: Lulu

I have another post about my recent trip to Baton Rouge but I needed to put out some happy first. You see if truth be known it probably was one of my most favoite weekends minus some hiccups. Me and my boyfriend. No kids. No kitchen. Hotel. Auburn footbal. New puppy. Those are all makings of perfection. We ended our weekend away at Arby's where all good puppies come from in the town of Grande Bay, AL. It was pretty much love at first site. I pleaded for the name. Lulu. (Winner J- Mo) If you have known me for a long time you know Lulu was my name growing up. Having a sister with also an M name made life difficult. One of us needed a nickname and since sister had her name painted on her glasses, I got the name LULU.


Lulu had a hard time getting comfortable on the long drive home. I mean can anyone with a tail do this? She is talented.




We made the 3 hour drive to Greenville and surprised two other little Roachs with the.best.present.ever.!



Even Tbone, sick with strep, gave a thumbs up to his new little friend. When I think about the trips to the creek the kids and her will take or the dips in the pool...my heart sings.



Then it was another couple of hours home to meet the brother dog. They did the smelling of the rear dance. Yoda is not really sure why Lulu cares so much about being friends. Yoda is a loner. And all the puppy hype is a bit overrated to him.




However, Lulu has started to make her mark. Just like with any new baby in the family we have big plans for her.


And just like a new baby, sleep is a process. But one thing is for sure...my heart she already has.

She's so precious. I can't wait to watch her grow up on your blog. :)
