Hi all-
I've decided to start a post on the many adventures of my new pup Morelli (pronouced More elli) and me. I grew up with black labs in a small town in northern Iowa. I feel in love with dogs at a young age, and when we moved to Des Moines after middle school I spent a majority of those first few months with just my dog Shadow to talk to. I'm a talker and will talk any one's ear off, just ask my old high school teachers, college choir director, or my current boss. But having Shadow around really helped in those first few months in a new town and school; and after he passed away in college I immediately decided that when I was financially able to I would get a dog. I searched high and low the last year trying to find a pup. And one day me college friend Anne emailed saying her sister's boyfriend's uncle (i know hard to follow), had a golden retriever that had black lab golden pups. I immediately knew there would be a pup for me in that litter. I drove up to Minnesota and got to pick him out at four weeks old.

50 bucks later and 8 weeks old i got to bring him home on memorial day. I uprooted my life for my new little man, and moved out of my amazing one bedroom downtown apartment into my parents house for a week, and then finally to a townhouse in the burbs. All this happened so fast including a car accident on my way to his first vet appointment. That's right not only did I take Morelli away from his mom and the only home he knew, but the day after the 4 hr car ride home I totalled my car while taking him to the vet. So the month of June found me... new pup, new home, new car, and lots of firsts with the new man in my life.

As work is not very busy I thought starting a blog would be a fun way to add some variety into my day. So look for more adventures of my puppy and me.... and yes he will forever be a puppy in my eyes. Even when my old dog Shadow was 13 years old I still considered him a puppy.
Posts to come.... our first trip to the farmers market, puppy play dates, and how my dog is utterly confused by the Black Eye Peas "I'm a Bee".
Happy Friday All!
Hey Awesome Chick!!!
ReplyDeleteI've added you to my RSS feed... I will look forward to the adventures of Morelli & Kate!!! I miss your face -- but I get to see you soon... I hope you're doing awesome! Your pup is adorable.
Love, Steve
Hey sis!! If I remember correctly, it took you awhile to "fall in love" with dogs!! hee hee! I will forever remember when Dad brought Midnight home and you jumped up on anything that would keep you out of his paws...the counter, a chair, the car, dad, and I remember you putting me between you and the monstrous little pup! I guess that's the unconditional love of a sister...if there's danger, throw your older sister to the dogs!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm not saying I wasn't afraid of Midnight at first. I believe there is evidence in the Amendt family picture vault, of a tiny blonde six year old Jennifer sitting on the very top rung of a step ladder trying to get my toes away from the little critter!
Glad you started this blog! I've thought about starting one too, but not quite sure my life is interesting enough to warrant any readers! :)
Love you and miss you!!
