I Did a Bad Bad Thing
June 2, 2010 
Let's be honest.
We all saw this coming.
I tried to talk myself out of it.
I relied upon my steadfast, rational, sweet-cheeks husband to keep me on the straight and narrow.
But then I saw this...
...and everything else ceased to exist.
I claimed her.
I named her.
(Elsa!)
And now she is mine, forever and ever.
All mine.
Except... I suppose I have to share her with my husband and children. 'Tis but a minor detail.
I regret nothing.
I question myself not.
Elsa is in our world. Suddenly, colors are more vibrant. Food tastes better. I wake up earlier just to embrace the day.
And take Elsa out for a potty break.
I swear to you, when I look at her, all I hear is Louis Armstrong singing What a Wonderful World in my head.
And if you're honest with yourself, you'll admit that you do too.
It's a good thing I'm going to be so willing to share pictures of her with you.
Brace yourselves.

What kind of an absolutely adorable teddy bear pup is that????? I want to scratch that fur! Ya, I can certainly understand why you were unable to resist.
I love the name. Elsa was the name of the lion in Born Free! Way before your time. I was a little girl. Great movie.
Elsa is 7/8 great pyrenees and 1/8 border collie. And you're right, 'Born Free' was before my time. But Elsa was pretty much 'born free' on the farm where she grew up -- has never really been in confinement. How's that for ironic?
Hubby and I were "awwwwing" in unison when we saw Elsa. So darn cute and furry!
Aww! She is so cute! I had a border collie as a kid, her name was Elsie though.
And Tauna, while "Born Free" was also made before my time, I used to watch it all the time growing up. I LOVE that movie... my daughter watched it for the first time a few weeks ago, she's still in that "what the heck is a TV?" stage but it was cute to watch it "with" her.
Elsa is too cute! What an adorable puppy. I don't blame you one bit. Our corgi got hit by a car a couple months ago and my almost 5 year old has been asking for a puppy every since. Now we already have 2 other dogs but maybe for Christmas. Have fun!
Ooooh! I did kinda see this coming but YEA for you!!!!! Now we can compare housetraining tips. LOL Elsa is cute as a button.
Oh for cute!!!!! Your new "baby!" ;)
