zola rolli polli

this past weekend. my family decided it was time for a new puppy. although i dont know if that is a true statement. i dont know if you ever fully feel it is time. it was a happy day. but then on the car ride to meet them. to then pick her out. i got upset. it was just a reminder that cory really was gone. but i know the new little girl will bring just as much joy and love into our lives just as cory continues.

zola. turns 8 weeks today. her birthday is july 8. we are still working on a middle name. and then possibly a third. her mother was a golden lab. named daisy. zola had 5 sisters and 3 brothers. she was the chunkiest of the group. with her rolli polli little pot belly. it was her beautiful blue eyes. and short snout. with a big wet nose that helped us to pick her out. with 6 little pups. running at your feet. its hard to decide on just one. it was either her. or the swimmer.

i spent all day with zola yesterday. she is already doing very well at potty training. loves to eat. and take naps. perfect. i picked out a busy bee toy. along with piggy. she likes to take her toys onto her princess bed and chew. i am excited to watch her grow. she also likes to go under the coffee table. and hide out. as my dad says - her cave instincts. ha. we gave her a nice warm bath. so she smells like lavendar. and gives lots of puppy kisses.
