It started out like any other Saturday. We were running errands, I ran into Kohl’s and Hubby took the kids into PetCo to look at the animals (like we’ve done many times before).
Then we met Nico….

I guess I could say he’s our “pupmate” because we all fell in love with him immediately. When he climbed into Hubby’s lap, I knew it was a done deal. Even Sienna, who’s been begging for a kitty for months and months, said she would rather have Nico. And as we were leaving PetCo, Grant gave the PAWS volunteer a big hug and told her, “thank you for taking care of my puppy.”
He’s an awesome dog; he’d have to be to win me over. He’s a 4-month old puppy, black with a white strip on his tummy (which makes him look like he’s wearing a tuxedo; that’ll come in handy for my Oscar parties), a Lab/Retriever mix, and has a very gentle soul. I think he’ll be good for us.
We decided to keep the name Nico (given to him at the shelter), but when we got home, I looked it up and found out it means: Victorious People. How appropriate!
Now, we just need to get to know each other…it’ll be a fun and interesting transition for all of us.
Wow…I can’t believe I have a dog!!!

awww, he is so cute!! Congratulations--he looks like a dog everyone who comes to your house will love too (unlike ours!). I've been trying to figure out why I have this impulsive urge to have a dog and I think it's because a dog makes a house cozier.
He looks really sweet!! Congrats!! Hopefully he's at least partially house-trained for you ... =o)
Deane was just getting a smile out of Bill's big smile -- you can tell he already LOVES his dog.
