The Puppy was our first baby. We got married in August 1997 and it was mere weeks before I begged My Wonderful Husband to get a dog. I grew up with a dog and was having a hard time living without one. We had gotten married, moved to a new state, started a new job, and I wanted a puppy!!! My Wonderful Husband relented and we found an ad in the paper for puppies for sale in Wilmington, DE. Off we went to Wilmington where we found a few puppies left and picked out this sweet baby as soon as we walked in. We drove home with her in a box on my lap and quickly ran out to the store to get all of the accessories that a sweet little puppy needs.... a crate, food, bowls, and tons of toys including, but not limited to, her Tiger Baby. She quickly claimed My Wonderful Husband's Redskins blanket as her own and went on to chew it to bits but still slept with it every night. She has been with us from the beginning - through 5 moves, 3 states, 3 children, and countless other life events. She is not feeling too well these days and a visit to the vet today left us with some hard choices. I don't know what the next few days might bring, but today she is here and she will always be our first baby.
