It’s been 4 weeks since we went to fetch little Miss Ivy.  She’s quickly made herself comfortable in her new home.  In fact, she sleeps just about anywhere.  Here she is sleeping in my lap her first night home…

If you are at the table…She’s under your feet!

You can find her sleeping in the shower or under the bed.

Ivy loves her spot under the coffee table.  There used to be magazines under there but she likes to chew them so they had to go.  This was actually very convenient because it helped me check off #24 on my list of 30 things to do before I’m 30!

Falling asleep with her head hanging off the edge doesn’t look very comfortable.

She sleeps at the beach and on the threshold of the door.

She even fell asleep with her head resting on the table stretcher. (I  know you can’t really tell but she is totally asleep!)

She’s cute while she sleeps but she’s even cuter when she’s up and about.  She’s very busy and follows me around wherever I go.  She is the best company and well…she’s my little buddy.

I love my pup!  I love my pup! I love my pup!

Meet our sweet little Ivy.

We had a hard time thinking of the perfect name right away.  Everyone was brainstorming with us but nothing was sticking.  Ivy came to be when our friends Janet & Caroline came to visit at the store.  As they were leaving I said, “Be thinking of names!”.  They were gone only a few seconds when they popped their heads back in and said… What about Ivy??  My ivy covered store is what inspired the name.  I love the name and since she is Milly & Grace Girl… it just fit.

Here is our first family photo!

I am having a hard time finding the words to describe how much I love this puppy.   I love her so much.  She’s only been in our lives for 5 days and I’m surprised at how quickly I fell for her.  I basically melt anytime she does anything.  It’s pretty pathetic.  We are having so much fun getting to know her! She is a super calm dog (which is great!) but now that she is getting a little more comfortable with us we are starting to see a spunky side to her.

(Also present at our first family photos are the bags under my eyes.  I hardly slept the night before we went to pick her up and then she had separation anxiety the first 2 nights home.  However, I am happy to report that she is adjusting really well and hardly cries at night anymore! Thank goodness!!)

Get ready to laugh at this little video that Steve took!
